Rumpke Sanitary Landfill

Rumpke Sanitary Landfill, more colloquially known as Mount Rumpke or Rumpke Mountain, is one of the largest landfills in the United States located in Colerain Township, Hamilton County, north of Cincinnati, Ohio. It is owned by Rumpke Consolidated Companies, Inc. and occupies over 230 acres (93 ha) of a 440-acre (180 ha) tract of land that the company owns. The landfill receives 2 million tons (2×10 kg) of household and industrial wastes annually. In 1996, Rumpke agreed to pay a one-million-dollar fine after a large landslide at Mount Rumpke.
