Rain Barrels Are Coming Back to Wyoming on November 6

Over 200 rain barrels were sold in June through the Metropolitan Sewer District's (MSD) pilot program in the City of Wyoming to reduce combined sewer overflows to Mill Creek. Due to high demand, MSD will continue to make barrels available to Wyoming residents for $80 each - a savings of $40 per barrel! Purchase order forms will be mailed in September. Residents will have the option of returning their payment with the form or paying at the Fall Festival on October 2. The pick-up date is scheduled for November 6. Rain barrels must be pre-ordered and each new rain barrel owner will receive an instructional installation DVD. Please click here for an order form and more information.

Rumpke Garbage Pick Up Requirements

Due to a recent outbreak of bed bugs in the Cincinnati area, Rumpke requires special instructions when preparing certain items for garbage pick up. 

  • Mattresses will not be picked up if there are insects of any kind on the mattress.  It is recommended that residents reuse the plastic their new mattress came in and wrap the old mattress for disposal.

  • Couches and other fabric furniture will not be picked up if there are insects present.  These items must be wrapped in plastic.

  • Clothing must also be placed in plastic bags before it will be picked up.

For more information, please call Rumpke at 513.851.0122.

 

Fall Leaf Collection

City crews will conduct curbside leaf pick up from 10/11 until 12/15. Do not rake leaves into the gutters; place them just behind the curb in your yard and extend no more than ten feet up into your yard. Leaf piles blocked by vehicles will not be picked up; it is not possible for the equipment to get in such tight areas. For information call 513.821.3505 or email thuxel@wyoming.oh.us.
