I had a fantastic experience with Rumpke's Haul-it-Away service in Cincinnati today. Scheduling was incredibly easy, and the crew arrived right on time--just two days later. Their quote was straightforward and lower than I anticipated. Once I accepted it, all I needed to do was provide them with a list of items and where they were located. The team jumped right in and handled everything efficiently. I was really impressed that they managed to load everything--including several 300-pound pieces--onto a single truck. They finished the entire job in record time and even offered flexible payment options. I highly recommend Rumpke to anyone who wants to clear out clutter or get rid of unwanted items. Excellent service from start to finish! read more

Missed service. Drove right on by. 8 times so far this year. it takes 24-48 hours for a return pick up. I'm sorry that's 24 to 48 business hours. Call to complain lol what a joke. Have a great day I've said what I wanted. read more

We went 5 weeks without service, January/February. Spent $150 for someone to plow driveway and they still didn't come out. Called to complain and they said they don't offer discounts. So I guess I have to pay money for service not rendered? 2023 I was paying $126 a month for dumpster rental. Now I am paying $180 a month. Why is it when gas prices go up so does my bill? But when gas prices go down, my bill doesn't. I looked at the reviews, and it's pretty low. I'm not shocked. read more

I would give them a 0 if I could. Miss trash pick up, won't come back after telling you the will. They give you fake promises. 0.0. Going to cancel my commercial account with them as well read more

They used to pick up every week, but in the past few weeks, they've left our trash 3 times. One time it was the recycle bin and twice the regular trash. We called customer service every time; we got about a $2.00 credit for the missed recycle bin, but were just given excuses about the other 2 times. I feel like we're paying for service that we're not getting. It makes no sense that all the other neighbors on our cul-de-sac got theirs picked up last week (but not us) and the CS agent told us "maybe the truck was too full to empty yours." WTH??? We've been with them for years and are always paid up...I'm getting really fed up. read more

terrible. these guys suck. if you're gonna monopolize the trash game at least have some dignity. every week I have 1-3 trash bags left in my bin. my bin started out clean. it is now a filthy mess. phuck this company to hell and back. read more

The property that I work for use Rumpke waste and recycling services. For 3 weeks now Rumpke has been neglecting us. We have not had our dumpsters dump in over 3 weeks now. It's ridiculous. Yes we are down a hlll, yes there was snow on the ground which is now gone by the way and has been for over 4 days now. They keep giving me the run around. Meanwhile there is trash everywhere. Ridiculous!! read more

They randomly don't pick up your garbage. Have to call and have them come back out often. They are rude and hard to work with.

They don't always pick up and will tell you they are coming back to pick up your trash but do not. After 4 days and 5 phone calls I was told they would be out within 24 to 48 hours did not show up and said they would credit my account a whole $ 6.00. we have been usin Rumpke for over 20 years and now looking for a new trash service. read more

Best advice I can give to anybody about this company, is that if you ever need a trash bin be sure to order it from Home Depot or Lowe's and get a Toter trash bin. Rumpke offers zero warranty on their cans and Toter has a 10 year warranty. When Rumpke destroys your cans like they always manage to do, Toter replaces them for free and Rumpke does not. Learned this lesson the hard way after Rumpke had already destroyed 3 of my cans in a short period of time. Rumpkes customer service was non existent. read more

They broke my toter trash can to where it is not usable and will not replace it, instead they want me to rent one for $3 a month. They threw the lid inside the can and left it. They park left of center when pucking up trash so cars cant get around them or if you can get around them you are partially off the road. Screw you rumpke! read more

Rumpke Waste & Recycling - Recycling Center Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Been loyal customers for 8 years. Always pay our bill. For the last month, when they pick up ours and our fellow neighbor's trash, after they empty the dumpsters, instead of setting them back up on the curb they leave them in the street against the curb. Today, I witnessed this as it happened. The man literally walked closer to the curb then gave it a push sending the dumpster rolling toward the curb. The only dumpster not left in the street was someone who was outside on their porch watching - that person's dumpster was properly placed up on the sidewalk. This, along with abritrarily raising rates for no reason whatsoever every three months, is one of the many reasons, we intend to change haulers very soon. Do not recommend Rumpke as they have very high rates and poor service (i.e. flinging dumpsters that could easily hit cars parked on the street doing damage to cars. Also dumpsters in streets present a hazard driving especially on windy days when they can get blown around) read more

Terrible service! My trash rarely gets picked up. I have to call every week and some times they come get it, but most times they don't show up. If they weren't contracted by the city to do the job, I would definitely switch to another company. read more

We have been Rumpke customers for many years, we auto pay monthly. Today is February 22, 2025 and we have not had our trash and recycling picked up since February 5th. I have called Rumpke 6xs and keep being told they will be out in the next 24-48 hours. Not true. The last call, 2/20, I escalated and asked for a supervisor, (I am not a Karen) and was told someone would call me back. No one has called. I have no room in my cans and no response from Rumpke. The quality of garbage collection has gone way down. Currently searching other trash collection companies in the Cincinnati area. read more

Rumpke management is subpar. Whoever manages customer service couldn't manage a lemonade stand. They frequently miss our entire street on trash day, so when you call CS they give you the same song and dance about "trucks are still out" and "I just sent a message to them to let them know they missed the street" They have no clue what they are saying and have no business speaking to customers. Anyone can work for Rumpke as long as you 1) can lie and 2) have no clue what you're talking about. So, here the trash sits as usual like every other missed pickup which I pay for by the way. If I could go with another company I would in a second, but unfortunately our town has a "contract" with them. So, just have to put up with inept employees who just make up crap and excuses just to get you off the phone. read more

My company has been a Rumpke Customer for over 30 years. After watching our trash collection prices climb and climb, and putting up with our employees being treated disrespectfully by their drivers, we decided it was time to look at other options. Best Way was over 30% cheaper. All other vendors were significantly cheaper! If you have an option, do yourself a big favor and shop this around. Rumpke's unscrupulous business practices make it extremely difficult to move on. Their contracts are the most one sided unethical documents I have ever seen. When I showed our attorney he commented that he doesn't think he has ever seen a contract that bad. I knew they had bad contracts and had always instructed everyone on my team to never sign them. After talking with Rumpke several times, and them offering only modest decreases in rates that are still very high compared to competitors they informed me that they have signed contracts. The contracts they produced were at least 3 years old and some as old as 7 years. They will use sneaky tactics to get someone in your company to sign these, and then they hold them in their war chest. The contracts all have 3 year terms with auto renewals, allow them to raise prices whenever they feel like it for whatever reason, and they have an insanely small cancellation window. You must notify them no less than 60 and no more than 120 days before the end of the contract to get out. If you try to get out of their contract they will hit you with exorbitant "liquidated damages" fees. Six times your monthly rate, plus $100 per container. We have multiple locations, and they tried to pull a fast one on us by adding locations onto the liquidated damages fees that we had no contract on. They also tried to add fuel charges onto the liquidated damages fee. In an attempt of being reasonable and getting this behind us, I have offered to negotiate the liquidated damages to a reasonable level and move on. They refused to discuss it. After 30 plus years of being a customer and never paying a bill late, the way they have treated us is abhorrent.

Thank you Jeff Dearinger for going above and beyond today to resolve my dumpster issue Impeccable customer service

Ra Rumpke employee made a mistake and broke 2 of our trash cans but they made it right.

Rumpke bought the prior waste service company I used, and now my dumpster service has been skipped several times by Rumpke. When I called their customer service, and I was told that it is my responsibility to call Rumpke when my service was missed! No joking, plus, Rumpke increased their service price but missed their service! Further more, people in their customer service department were awful!. read more

They had a driver behaving very strangely and when I called to request that somebody maybe just check on the guy, the lady on the phone was incredibly rude. Could not have cared less. Didn't even want to know who, when, where, or anything. Wasn't even trying to get anybody in trouble, the guy really needed to just be checked on. Maybe he was new and needed help. They won't help you with anything and they behave like they can do anything they want when they're in those trucks. Terrible company. This was in Greenup County, KY. read more

Terrible experience!! Missed pick up 5 weeks in a row. I called 4 different times and have been told each time that pick up would be done next day and I would get a call back from a supervisor to make things right and let me know what's going on. Still no callbacks and trash hasn't been picked up. And the bill they sent me this week for my next payment had a price increase!? So they want to charge me more for services that they aren't even providing. I will be cancelling asap read more

They discontinue service for nonpayment even though we paid. They apologize for the mix up but it takes them a month to return the cans. What do you do in the meantime? Not the first time this has happened. I wish I had an alternative. I'd gladly pay more for a competent company. read more

Too many missed trash pickup's. Customer service was no help. I am currently looking at other choices for trash removal.

Bait and switch trash service. I just moved into a new home and called Rumpke to find out price and services. Was told large item pick-up was first of the month and that they can take sofas (wrapped) old toilets, etc. That works for me so I signed up. No way to notify them of large items pickup via their web page so you are forced to call and wait. When I finally reached someone they informed me that they only pickup 1 large item. 1! Then the actual details are finally explained. If you have a sofa with a recliner the back must be removed. They don't accept double recliner sofas. If the sofa is too big they wont take it. All details the sales person failed to tell me when I was signing up for service and details that are completely missing from their web site. Classic bait and switch. Shame on them and shame on the city. Why are my taxes so stupid high and they don't include trash service. So now I have 3 toilets and a wrapped sofa at the curb (that I now have to unwrap to disassemble) that is going to take Rumpke 4 months to remove without me paying some exorbitant extra fee. Shame shame read more

Excellent service and prices. I rented a dumpster for two weeks. Rumpke couldn't have been more helpful. Thank you!

Absolutely horrible customer service. Missed pick up constantly and want to believe their lying driver. Do not recommend absolutely terrible!!! read more

my bill is paid in full two weeks in a row. They have skipped picking up my garbage I called them and they say it was just a minor discrepancy. They will be here next week trashiest trash company ever. read more

I see Jacquie M saying they rarely miss a pickup if 5 times in a row is rarely I would hate to see often and apologize for bad experience but and a lot of 1 star reviews poor excuse for a company read more

Garbage of a company! Prices are ridiculous and the drivers are as friendly as rattle snakes. Missed my garbage several times but this last time I did call and they gave me a 24-48hr window to come back and it's been 6 days and my can is still sitting there waiting. read more

Called Rumpke to cancel my service since I sold my house. I was told to leave the cans on the street and they would pick them up in 7-10 days. I explain my HOA does not allow that and the new owners do not want the cans sitting in front of their home for two weeks. They told me they have an agreement with my HOA so it was okay. Since I was on the HOA I know that is not true. After ten days and the cans are still not picked up I call again but the rep could not care less. Same story now another 7-10 days. I explained I had done my best to return their cans and that if something happen to them that was on them. She hung up on me. CUSTOMER SERVICE ??????? read more

I have found the representatives answering the phones for this company to be unprofessional and inefficient. I have spoken with people who were obviously chewing gum, or admitted they did not know how to simply begin a new pick up of recycling, or were abrupt and rude for no apparent reason. When calling I have been placed on hold for long periods of time. One time when I called the IVR was on a continuous loop of the same message no matter which button you pushed. I dread calling this company. read more

Scam artists. Literal scam artists. They have been charging me for 2 cans on my account and I only had 1. They charged me for 6 months for an additional can. I called to have it fixed and was hung up on several times and never called back. I finally called to cancel them and they asked me to have the can sit out by the road. I had my husband set it out there WHILE I was still on the phone with them. A week later they picked it up. Fast forward 6 months... rumpke shows up on my credit in collections. I call in and find out that they say the can set out was never picked up!!! LOL. It's like you can't get rid of them!!!! So they said they filed the can as "missing" but they said I still had a balance of $24. When back in September I completely closed out the account. I am so glad to have rumpke out of my life! I'd rather burn my own damn trash than deal with this company. read more

Worst customer service I have ever experienced. Multiple times my needs were not met and trash not picked up. They made a mistake and apparently their mistakes are my fault. read more

I've called many time in the last 1 and a half about trash cans not being serviced. I've stated I'm in a wheelchair when calling and they said they would have the supervisor call me which no one ever did multiple times. They only can to pick up my trash late after asking once out of at least 5 times. I even stated that trash is building up in my home and I can't move around. Still this happens and they don't care. The call lady is nice always but that isn't operations. They have no decency to even call. Rumpke Trash has no respect for their customers or Disabled people! read more

If I could leave 0 stars, I would. The company that usually does our trash pick-up for our property was bought out by Rumpke this past summer. Since they took over, they've missed trash pick up at least 10 times over a 4 month period. Yes. You read that right. 10. When you call their service line, they say they'll take care of it, but I have gotten NO WHERE with it. I'll call again the next day and be told there was no record of my previous call. It's utterly shocking when our dumpster is emptied when it's actually supposed to be at this point. It's been months and I am STILL having this pick-up issue and STILL being charged for pick ups that are not happening. Save yourself the time, money and frustration, and just pick literally any other company. This one is LITERAL TRASH. read more

After purchasing local refuse business in Springfield, Rumpke proceeds to gouge the customer base by upping the cost from $68 per quarter to $93.39, including a fuel surcharge of $15.39 and $9.00 for the trash can. SUPPORT LOCAL - CJ Refuse and Hauling (in Springfield) offers a much better price (a 30% savings) of $65.00 per quarter. Rumpke is giving us a perfect example of the old saying: You can shear a sheep many times but you can only skin it once. read more

I wish the review can give me the option of 0 star. It has been a terrible experience for me as a property manager. I paid over 1100 for two 2 yard dumpster. They MISSED every single puck up for at leadt 2 months that I began managing the property. I am sure they missed more and the previous management just did not care. When I call Rumpke they will send me a "special pick" which is really a very late pick up! No apologies, no concerns amd this cause more trask being piled up outside the dumpsters! I am switching to Republic Services because my neighbor has them and no issues at all. TERRIBLE SERVICE! HIGH COST! NO CONSISTANCY ! read more

Their customer service is terrible. They have no compassion for their customers in need. The Rumpke family has trained their employees well, they all act like it's their last dollar to help you, which never happens. They need more competition to remind them who made them who they are read more

Rumpke customer service is absolute trash (no pun intended) -- have been trying to get a dumpster removed from our residential driveway for the past 1-2 weeks and have spoken to at least 3 different individuals who have given us conflicting information regarding when it can be picked up. The customer service agents, managers, and dispatch officers I have spoken to have been been very rude, short, and unhelpful. Highly recommend seeking elsewhere for waste-related services. read more

They frequently missed our house, and when I called to reminded them to pick up our trash they said they will come in 24hr, but they just intentionally ignored my calls like it didn't happened! not coming to clean up their mess. Bad Bad services! read more
