Rumpke Clark County Transfer Station Project Facts

Transfer stations are very regulated at both a local and state level to ensure protection of human health and the environment. Today’s transfer stations are enclosed structures where the activity takes place inside an enclosed structure to reduce noise, odor, wind-blown litter and other vectors. Regular cleaning occurs daily throughout operation.

This facility is an enclosed transfer station, not allowing the material to be outside of the covered area. Upon arrival, material is unloaded into the transfer station and then quickly reloaded into a tractor trailer. The tractor trailer then transports the material to a regional Rumpke landfill. The tipping floor for each truck unloading material faces away from the road as not to be visible to drivers passing.

We hope to improve the overall aesthetic of the area with permitted signage and landscape buffers.

We are addressing a need within the county. We are working with the county to address the illegal dumping by providing convenient and accessible disposal. We are supporting the solid waste management district’s plan by increasing recycling options and bringing new jobs and local spending into the county’s economy. This will assist residents will their own cleanup efforts as well as increase efficiencies for our trucks. Additionally, this location is properly zoned light industrial. Its proximity to major roadways was appealing.

This is a possibility as well as turning lanes. Right now, ODOT is creating the best plan to ensure uninterrupted and efficient traffic flow. We do not want to hinder progress or add new difficulties to the traffic pattern in the area.

The site may be open to the public Monday-Friday, between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. and some Saturdays. The facility will typically be closed on Sundays and select holidays.

We are currently exploring options to make choices that best meet community needs. We will evaluate the best long term options for the site as we continue with development.

Wastewater will be disposed of through the sewer system.

Our job is to protect human health and the environment from society’s waste. We operate all of our facilities in strict compliance with local, state and federal regulations. The site is designed so all waste activity occurs inside. The material is then transported from the site to one of our regional landfills for disposal. Transfer stations are regulated and inspected by the health department as well as the Ohio and US EPA. All compliance records are available to the public at anytime.

The facility will accept municipal solid waste and recyclable materials from residents and businesses. These materials may be delivered to the facility in commercial collection vehicles (garbage trucks) or in smaller quantities in smaller personal vehicles. Third-party waste and recycling haulers and direct haul customers, as well as municipal crews, and institutions performing their own collection may also bring materials to the facility. Hazardous waste is not permitted at the facility.

Noise levels outside of the depot will be minimized since collection vehicle unloading and transfer trailer loading will be conducted within the confines of the building.

All on-site equipment will be equipped with mufflers and the lowest decibel backup alarms allowable. Rumpke will also utilize other sound-suppressing devices, as required, for compliance with applicable local and state statutes and regulations.

This site is designed to take up to 200-500 tons per day. We are mindful of traffic at our sites, and the safety of our team members and the motoring public is always a top concern. Our hauling operation will be a small fleet that shouldn’t have a big impact on traffic to local roadways. Additional traffic through the site should be spaced out throughout the day. Upon initial opening we expect approximately 50 trucks per day. At maximum capacity, the facility could reach about 165 trucks per day. CNG trucks will always be considered as we progress and develop this site.

We have commissioned a traffic study with the Ohio Department of Transportation to verify turning lane and/or traffic signal needs. Trucks will mainly travel to and from the I-70 interchange. It is to our advantage to ensure safe, easy and efficient traffic flow for our vehicles and fellow motorists. The last thing we wish to do is cause any disruption, so we will make every effort to employ whatever updates are necessary to provide motorists with easy travel.

Our trailers feature a tarp to help contain material. We will employ laborers at the site to address any windblown litter. We also have street sweeping capabilities and will work to ensure that our operations do not leave the property line.
