(Lancaster, Kentucky – December 20, 2019) – Rumpke trash collection will be delayed the weeks of Dec. 23, 2019 and Dec. 30, 2019 because of the Christmas and New Year’s holidays.

Customers serviced on Mondays and Tuesdays will not be affected by Christmas and New Year’s Day. Customers with Wednesday collection will be serviced on Thursday both weeks. Thursday customers will be collected on Friday and Friday customers will be serviced on Saturday. Normal collection resumes the week of Jan. 6, 2020.
