Family owned and operated, Kimble has been in business for over 70 years. Over the years, we’ve become a leader in the waste collection and recycling industry. With six locations in Ohio, Kimble provides local careers for nearly 1,000 employees.
We’re known as a local, homegrown company that cares deeply about the communities we serve. After all, our customers are also our neighbors. Our job is more than collecting waste and recycling. We’re trusted community partners.
Kimble is committed to keeping Ohio clean and our customers satisfied while making the best choices for the environment. The majority of our truck fleet is powered by clean-burning, compressed natural gas (CNG), which operates more quietly and more efficiently when compared to traditional diesel trucks. CNG vehicles dramatically reduce carbon emissions. In fact, replacing one diesel truck with one CNG truck is the CO2 equivalent of removing 324 cars from the road.
To power our fleet, we operate three CNG fueling stations, located in Stark, Summit and Tuscarawas County. Our investment in CNG fueling and trucks helps to reduce our dependency on foreign oil by utilizing Ohio’s natural gas resources.
Looking toward the future, we’re taking substantial steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create a new green energy resource. At the Kimble landfill, we’ve installed methane wells and a renewable natural gas (RNG) plant to collect bio-gas, a renewable energy source derived from the decomposition of organic waste.
