Rumpke Awards 2025 Scholarships

At Rumpke, we know that education is one of the most powerful tools for building successful communities. That’s why every day, we provide free facility and landfill tours, on-site presentations and various online resources to educate students and community members of all ages about proper waste disposal and recycling.

As a family-owned and operated business, we believe in investing in the next generation of leaders. To help support their education and development, we offer annual scholarships to graduating high school seniors throughout our service areas and several awards for current team members and their families.

In 2025, Rumpke awarded $82,500 in scholarships. Winners are chosen based on their commitment to their academics, leadership ability, environmental stewardship and desire to serve the community.

Congratulations to the 2025 Rumpke Scholarship recipients!

We wish you the best of luck in all your future endeavors.
