Rumpke Trash Rate Increase
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.**
