Trash, recycling pickup in Kentuckiana may be delayed until next week due to winter weather

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Some 50,000 Rumpke customers in Kentuckiana may not have their trash and recycling picked up until next week.

Due to snow and ice on the ground and in the forecast, Rumpke's trash/recycling pickup may be delayed until its next scheduled date. However, company officials are urging residents place trash and recycling at the curb.

"We are attempting to operate on schedule, as road conditions allow; however, in some parts of our service region, it just isn’t feasible because of treacherous road conditions," said Mike Puckett, Rumpke's director of safety & claims counsel, in a news release. "While our work is essential, it is also essential that our employees return home safely to their families."

In areas that encounter service delays, Rumpke said it will be collecting material on Saturday.
