Recycling is voluntary for households; no county law forces you to recycle. In curbside cities the Rumpke single-stream program accepts paper, cardboard, plastic bottles/jugs/tubs, cartons, glass, and metal cans. Batteries, bulbs, and hoses must stay out of the cart.
Butler County provides recycling access but does not mandate that individual households recycle. In curbside-served cities and townships, Rumpke's single-stream program accepts newspapers, magazines, junk mail, brown paper bags, office paper, cardboard, paperboard, plastic bottles/jugs and tubs, milk and juice cartons, glass bottles and food jars, and aluminum, steel, and empty aerosol cans. Plastic film, bags, straws, Styrofoam, and Ziploc bags can go in an orange Hefty bag inside the recycling cart. Do not place batteries, light bulbs, drinking glasses, garden hoses, coat hangers, or aluminum foil in the cart.
No county fine for not recycling; contamination (wrong items) can cause Rumpke to reject a cart's contents.
