Rumpke Clark County Transfer Station in New Carlisle, OH

The facility will accept municipal solid waste and recyclable materials from residents and businesses. These materials may be delivered to the facility in commercial collection vehicles (garbage trucks) or in smaller quantities by personal vehicles. Third-party waste and recycling haulers and direct haul customers, as well as municipal crews, and institutions performing their own collection may also bring materials to the facility. Hazardous waste is not permitted at the facility.

For up-to-date hours of operation and directions, please view our listing.

There is a residential drop off recycling location at this site. We ask all residents to go over the scale before heading to the recycling drop off area. Residents may bring their recyclables to the facility free of charge during operating hours. We recommend taking your bulk cardboard to the Clark County recycling station at 1602 W. Main St, Springfield, OH.

The process for the general public to drop off material is easy. For recycling, residents will still go over the scale, but can drop off their recycling at the community drop box, free of charge. For trash, residents will enter the scales, record their load weight and pay prior to traveling to the rear of the building. The heavy equipment operator will direct the resident on where to back up and drop material. Once material is unloaded, the resident will travel back over the scales before exiting the site.

The fee is determined by the weight of each vehicle when on the scale. Residents who do not meet the tonnage limit will be charged a fee of $68.

Residents can drop off large items such as couches, mattresses, tires and appliances at the transfer station for transport and disposal.

Residents can also place these items curbside for bulk item collection. Residents wishing to schedule bulk item collection must contact Rumpke at least 24 hours in advance of their regularly scheduled collection. Bulk item collection fees may apply. Residents must wrap upholstered items in plastic to prepare for curbside collection. Residents must attach documentation of CFC removal to freon-containing appliances such as refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners placed curbside.

Clark County Solid Waste District also holds drop-off times for these items every Thursday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and the first Saturday of the month from 9 a.m. to noon, except on major holidays.

Rumpke does not accept materials such as household hazardous waste, batteries of any type or potentially flammable and explosive items. Please take household hazardous waste to the Clark County recycling center every Thursday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and the first Saturday of each month, 9 a.m. to noon, except on major holidays.

We are addressing a need within the county. We are working with the county to address illegal dumping by providing convenient and accessible disposal. We are supporting the solid waste management district’s plan by increasing recycling options and bringing new jobs and local spending into the local economy. This will assist residents with their own cleanup efforts as well as increase efficiencies for our trucks with proximity to major roadways. Additionally, this location is properly zoned light industrial.

Wastewater, or leachate, is any type of liquid that comes in contact with trash. Stormwater is any type of precipitation that is on the surface of the site as a result of weather. Stormwater is runoff from roofs, parking lots or paved streets. The transfer station is designed to keep all leachate within the enclosed facility. There are drains for leachate that will discharge into the local sanitary sewer system for disposal. Stormwater will be routed through a detention pond on the Southeast corner of the site.

We have obtained and will adhere to a general stormwater NPDES (Natural Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) permit that requires strict plans to best manage water at the site. Any liquid that comes in contact with trash is considered leachate or wastewater and it must be contained and directed into an approved management system. We are required to direct stormwater or water that has not touched waste, to an approved drainage system.

Our job is to protect human health and the environment from society’s waste. We operate all our facilities in strict compliance with local, state and federal regulations. The site is designed so all waste activity occurs inside. The material is then transported from the site to one of our regional landfills for disposal. Transfer stations are regulated and inspected by the health department as well as the Ohio and US EPA. All compliance records are available to the public at any time.

This transfer station is located outside of the 100-year floodplain depicted on the FEMA flood maps. Stormwater exiting the facility will be routed through the stormwater detention basin.

Our trailers feature a tarp to help contain material. We will employ laborers at the site to address any windblown litter. We also have street sweeping capabilities and will work to ensure that our operations do not leave the property line.

Rumpke has installed a Fire Rover suppression system that monitors the waste handling floor 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The system has the ability to detect a fire and remotely spray water on any potential hotspots.

Rumpke is also working with the fire department to ensure familiarity with the facility.

After completing a study with ODOT, we have installed left- and right-hand turn lanes into the property. Trucks will mainly travel to and from the I-70 interchange. It is to our advantage to ensure safe, easy and efficient traffic flow for our vehicles and fellow motorists traveling on St. Rt. 235.

The Clark County Solid Waste District allows residents to drop off household hazardous waste (HHW) materials for $1.00 per pound every Thursday from 9a.m. to 6p.m. and the first Saturday of the month from 9:00 a.m. to noon at 1602 W. Main St, Springfield, OH.

Today’s transfer stations are enclosed structures and all waste handling activities occurs inside to reduce noise, odor, wind-blown litter and other vectors. They are cleaned daily and are regulated at both local and state levels to ensure protection of human health and the environment.

Noise levels outside of the depot will be minimized since collection vehicle unloading and transfer trailer loading will be conducted within the confines of the building. All on-site equipment will be equipped with mufflers and the lowest decibel backup alarms allowable. Rumpke will also utilize other sound-suppressing devices, as required, for compliance with applicable local and state statutes and regulations.

The operation is designed to control odors. Trash is dumped into our enclosed building, then emptied throughout the day where trash is hauled to regional landfills for disposal. Waste will not be stored at the facility for more than 24 hours. It is to our benefit to move the trash out of the facility as quickly as possible to maximize productivity and minimize costs. In addition, the building will be closed outside of operating hours.

Rumpke always believes in doing the right thing. We are held to standards set by local, state and federal agencies; however, we have internal policies that are often more stringent than the regulations.

The air quality is monitored by the local health department as well as the Ohio EPA to ensure the facility and operations meet or exceed standards to protect human health and the environment.

There will not be outside storage at the site.

Typically, a transfer station accepts waste from a 40-50 mile radius. The majority of the material will come directly from Clark County communities.
