Rumpke Waste & Recycling

Rumpke Waste & Recycling in Broadview Heights is the local recycling center that people haul their household recyclables to when curbside won't cut it. Neighbors drop off cardboard, mixed paper, glass, plastics and metal cans here, along with some special programs that larger facilities often run.

The site is a commercial-scale yard with a small entrance booth and lanes to pull up to different collection bays. Look for the recycling bins off to the right past the booth and larger roll-off containers clustered farther in; big piles of flattened cardboard are common. A weigh scale is typically part of the traffic flow-vehicles drive across it as they enter or leave-so expect to stop twice during your visit. Weekend mornings get busy, especially during spring cleanup, so there can be a line of cars waiting to unload.
