Rumpke Trash Rate
9/15/24
Starting with the April 1, 2023 bill, you will see an increase in you trash and recycling collection rates from Rumpke. Your rate for the next year will be $21.45 per month. When the Township Trustees put this contract out to bid in late 2021/early 2022 we were facing inflation rates that were at a 40 year high. Our concern was that a 3-year contract could reflect those historic inflation rates projected over the three-year contract. Those concerns lead us to bid the contract with the yearly rate increase tied to the Consumer Price Index for Water/Sewer and Trash Collection Services. We felt this was the fairest way to bid the contract to avoid companies projecting a 10% yearly inflation rate over the life of the contract.
Starting April 1, 2023, we are in the second year of that contract. The CPI increase for Water/Sewer and Trash Collection Services is 4.42%. I have included the link to the data that was used for this calculation. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CUSR0000SEHG
**Starting April 1, 2024, the third year of the Rumpke service contract, the annual CPI increase is 4.8%. The monthly billing rate will increase to $22.49.
**March 3, 2025 - The Concord Township Board of Trustees have voted to extend the trash and recycling contract with Rumpke. The new rate per month from April 2025 through March 2026 will be $23.36 and seniors will be $21.02. This price includes unlimited trash, bulk item pick up (this needs scheduled), weekly recycling, and the 90 gallon trash cart and the 65 gallon recycling container.
When checking other community pricing, and including all of the items above the price is inline with the surrounding communities.
Rumpke bills in advance so you will see this increase in your next quarterly billing. If you have any questions about this extension please contact one of your trustees. If you have any trash questions please contact Rumpke.
