RECYCLE

Rumpke operates a curbside recycling program under contract with the City of Oxford.  Please help the City reduce the stream of waste going to landfills.  Place your recyclables in the red, 14-gallon container that Rumpke supplies to residential customers for your use.  If you do not have a red bin and you have residential service, please contact the Utility Department at 524-5221 and a red bin will be delivered to you.  Place the recycling container by your garbage cans on your scheduled pickup day.

Note:  The red container belongs to Rumpke Recycling and should be left at the residence when a customer moves out.

Please refer to the following guidelines if you choose to participate in the recycling program:
