Rumpke is reminding residents about the impact of winter weather on its drivers and services following Winter Storm Fern. The storm affected over 30 states, bringing heavy snowfall and low temperatures.
Hazardous road conditions can make it challenging for Rumpke drivers to navigate, especially on narrow urban streets and rural roads, according to a community announcement. While drivers are equipped and trained for severe weather, heavy ice and snow can sometimes prevent large trucks from traveling safely.
Rumpke is reminding its customers that winter storms can prompt service delays. Customers can help by keeping driveways and sidewalks free of snow and making sure carts are kept away from snow piles.
