Limited City Fall curbside brush pick up starts September 22

The Montgomery Service Department will again provide a fall curbside bulk collection of brush and limbs. The fall program begins September 22, and will be continue over a 5 week period. Each area’s pick up week will be determined by each area’s regular day of trash collection.

Since chipper crews will only make one pass through each neighborhood, residents must place brush curbside on the Sunday immediately prior to your scheduled collection week. Crews cannot return once they have completed service in an area.

Rumpke Waste Collection

Automated Waste Collection

Garbage Truck with Mechanical Arm

The City of Montgomery has partnered with Rumpke to provide a futuristic approach to trash collection through the use of Rumpke’s fully automated collection system.

The automated collection is a technologically advanced system of refuse collection and disposal.  The system is called “automated” because a refuse truck, equipped with a mechanical/robotic arm, automatically lifts and empties special refuse containers without the driver ever leaving the cab of the truck.  The system requires a special “waste wheeler” container to permit lifting by the mechanical arm.  The entire process takes about 10 seconds per stop.

The automated system will help stabilize cost, allow Rumpke to collect garbage more efficiently, while improving safety.  The traditional method is labor intensive and puts workers at high risk for being struck by a motorist  

Type of Container Used in the Automated System

The City of Montgomery and Rumpke have provided each residence (single and two family residences) with one 96 or one 65 gallon waste wheeler, free of charge.

The waste wheelers are designed for use with the automated collection system and provide:

Replacement of Damaged Waste Wheelers

Upon verification by Rumpke, damaged waste wheelers will be replaced at no charge to citizens. Rumpke reserves the right to charge residents for waste wheelers that have been damaged by negligence or abuse.

Using the Automated System

All waste wheelers, recycling and yard waste containers must be place at the curb the night before your scheduled pick up day.

Remember that all household trash must be contained in the waste wheeler.

Remember not to block the sidewalk!

To avoid interference with the automated truck collection-arm, your waste wheeler should be a least 4 feet from objects on either side, including parked vehicles, fire hydrants, mailboxes, and light poles.

Make sure the waste wheeler handle faces away from the street and toward your home.

The lid should be closed to avoid spillage.

Recycling bins and yard waste containers should be placed on the other side of the driveway.

Need an Additional Waste Wheeler?

Additional waste wheeler can be leased or purchased for the following by calling Rumpke at 742-2900.

Rumpke will collect an unlimited amount of trash as long as it is in a waste wheeler.

Recycling Program

Rumpke will collect recyclables on the same day as trash pick-up for one and two family residential customers. Please place the appropriate items in your recycling bin and place at the curb with your trash by 6:00 a.m. on the day of your scheduled trash pick-up.

Recycling bins are serviced by a second truck and only items listed are accepted in the program. Please note that Rumpke utilizes a single truck to collect all recyclables and that the products are sorted and separated at a materials recovery facility. They are not placed in the landfill.

How To Get A Bin

Large Item Collection

What is a large item?  Large Item Collection includes household items such as couches, chairs, mattresses, table appliances, carpets, padding and similar large items that will not fit into the automated waste wheeler.

To ensure that collection of your large item please follow these simple guidelines.

The best way to determine if a household material is hazardous is to read the label.  If any of the following works appear on a materials warning label, you should follow the disposal direction carefully.
