Help Stop Littering
Over 1,100 volunteers spent a weekend in April cleaning Darke County
roadways. In this clean-up, 17,100 lbs. of debris and recyclables
were collected by the volunteers and processed by Rumpke.
In addition to being unsightly, litter can pose health and safety
hazards to both people and wildlife. Studies have found that 1/2
of all litter is intentional and the other half is “accidental”.
Accidental means that debris blows out of a car window, from the bed of
a truck or your trash can.
The Darke County Solid Waste District and Rumpke would like to remind
you to please follow the tips listed below for the best customer
service and to help avoid littering.
Bag your trash to prevent spills.
Do not overfill your container.
Make sure that the lid can be shut with ease.
Bulky materials including drywall, concrete, bricks, dirt or rocks are
not acceptable.
You may request an extra trash container for an additional cost.
NO hazardous waste, NO electronics or computers, NO construction
material, NO ashes, NO concrete, NO rocks, NO gravel, or like material,
can be accepted.
