Rumpke Opens New Recycling Facility in Columbus, Ohio

Earlier this week, Rumpke Waste & Recycling opened a new facility in Columbus, Ohio that it says is its biggest and most technologically advanced facility in North America.

“The future of recycling is now," Rumpke president Andrew Rumpke said in a media release. "Our Rumpke Recycling & Resource Center ensures enough recycling capacity to serve the long-term needs as the region’s commercial development continues and the population tops an estimated 3 million."

The new facility sits at 226,000 square feet and can process 60 tons of material per hour and 250,000 annually from 50 Ohio counties. The first floor of the facility serves as a career center for various programs by Rumpke such as CDL training, customer service, sales, and more. The second flood serves as a center for research and development, allowing schools and universities to research and study ways to recycle efficiently.

"Given our mission to deliver exceptional waste and recycling solutions to our customers and communities through a commitment to safety, service the environment and the growth of our people, we must always strategically plan well into the future to meet our customer’s needs by investing, innovating and providing the best options for society’s waste,” Rumpke said.
