COVINGTON, Ky. – Rumpke Waste & Recycling says Covington residents whose trash and recycling wasn’t collected last Friday because of the winter storm should follow their normal schedule and place their carts out on Friday of this week.

The contractor is prepared to pick up extra material – just make sure any trash that doesn’t fit within your cart is bagged and placed next to your cart.

As for recycling material that doesn’t fit in your cart, large pieces of cardboard should be flattened and placed next to your cart, and other items can either be held back for next week or placed in cardboard boxes or paper bags. Items placed in plastic bags will not be recycled because the bags get tangled in the machinery. 

If you have questions or concerns, call the City’s Neighborhood Services, Solid Waste & Recycling Division at (859) 292-4417.
