Ever wonder where your recycling actually goes after you drop it off? At BCSWMD, everything collected from the Landfill, Recycling Center, and Convenience Stations is sent to Rumpke’s Cincinnati Materials Recovery Facility — where it’s sorted and shipped to trusted end‑users across the Midwest. As Rumpke puts it, “we are finding a good home for your recyclables” and “end users are companies that take the sorted material and turn it into products.”
Check out the chart below to see exactly where each material ends up.
