Compactor trucks are one of the many types of trucks that not only collect your trash but come to Rumpke to dispose of it. "A compaction truck is a rear compaction; the material gets compacted in the back of the truck," Yeager says. "So, like this one. The driver gets out of the front, loads [the trash] into the back, then it compacts in the back." Rumpke has thought of various ways to collect and dispose of trash in ways that are better for the environment.

Date Ideas and Experiences Designed for Different Greater Cincinnati Neighborhoods

Cincinnati is a charming city, packed with fun date ideas and experiences, as well as stellar options for romantic dinners and drinks…

By Katherine Barrier

Mt. Adams The date: Mt. Adams has all the romantic European vibes for a day out with your amour. Start at the Cincinnati Art Museum (953 Eden Park Drive) in Eden Park, where you can hold hands and peruse art from a collection that spans thousands of years — ranging from Renaissance paintings and historical Roman and Egyptian artifacts to modern works and masterpieces by Cincinnati artists. Then, head out of Eden Park and into the heart of Mt. Adams to cozy and laidback French restaurant Luca Bistro (934 Hatch St.). After your meal, which you should most definitely finish off with an orange crème brûlée or chocolate mousse, end up at one of the most romantic bars in the city: The Blind Lemon (936 Hatch St). The interior calls to mind an English pub — all moody lighting, copper pots over a fireplace, wooden ceiling beams and stone walls. It’s a cozy spot to enjoy one of the bar’s specialty hot cocktails or a glass of bourbon or scotch when the weather begins to cool. Or, if you prefer a mix of Bourbon Street with a Paris cafe, the boho garden patio allows you some fresh air while still feeling tucked away — not to mention the opportunity to snuggle up around its wood-burning fireplace in the colder months.
