Rumpke Waste and Recycling has been selected as a Platinum 2026 US Best Managed Company. Sponsored by Deloitte Private and The Wall Street Journal, the program recognizes outstanding U.S. private companies.
This is Rumpke’s seventh time winning this distinction.

“This achievement belongs to everyone working at Rumpke,” said Rumpke President and CEO Bill Rumpke Jr. “Our employees work together as one team, persevere and put compliance, safety and caring for one another and our customers first. This is what makes our company so strong. Every day, we show up ready to solve problems, support each other and push to innovate and be better for our company and our customers. That’s what makes this award possible.”
The 2026 designees are U.S. private companies that have demonstrated excellence in strategic planning and execution, a commitment to their people, as well as maintaining financial performance and governance. This year’s class is making investments in digital transformation, including AI capabilities, and demonstrates the ability to drive sustainable growth and maintain resilience during times of volatility.
“The Platinum and Gold honorees exemplify what it takes to excel as a private enterprise,” said Marlow Campos, US Best Managed Companies program leader for Deloitte. “These organizations reflect long-term strategic planning supported by strong governance and culture that continues to evolve over time.”
Applicants are evaluated and selected by a panel of external judges focused on assessing hallmarks of excellence in four key areas: strategy, ability to execute, corporate culture, and governance/financial performance. They join a global ecosystem of honorees from more than 44 countries recognized by the Best Managed Companies program.
