GARBAGE AND RECYCLING COLLECTION INFORMATION
The City of Ludlow contracts with Rumpke for garbage and recycling collection. Residents will receive trash collection and recycling collection one time per week.
Recycling: If you wish to participate in the weekly curbside recycling program, please contact Rumpke at 1-877-786-7537 and they will provide a 65-gallon, wheeled recycling cart to you at no additional cost. Recycling is collected on the same day as your trash.
Trash Amnesty Week: During the first full week of each month, residents may place up to three (3) large items (items too large to fit inside the trash cart) at the curb on for their scheduled collection day. Please make sure any upholstered items (couch, chair, etc.) and mattresses are completely wrapped in plastic before they are set out at the curb.
Yard Waste: Yard waste should be placed at the curb inside of trash carts. If you have more yard waste than what your cart holds, place at the curb during trash amnesty weeks. Loose shrubbery or tree limbs must be bundled and tied in lengths no larger than 4 feet long and 2 feet wide. Bundles should not exceed 50 pounds.
For questions regarding the trash and recycling collection schedule in your area, please contact Rumpke at 1-877-786-7537.
