What a great recycling year! 40% of the 12 county recycling trailer drop-off sites showed an increase in total pounds collected from 2016 to 2017. We appreciate your recycling efforts and hope to see an even larger increase in 2018. Thank YOU!
Please remember to place your recyclables in the trailer, not beside them, to help keep the site areas clean and litter free. Please do not place trash in or near the recycling trailers. If a trailer is full, call 740.575.4813. Where’s your nearest recycling drop-off? Check the map!
Tips for a cleaner recycling stream:
- Pack loose paper, envelopes, etc. in a brown paper bag to recycle instead of plastic grocery bags.
- Paper, cardboard, plastic or aluminum foil soiled with food is not recyclable and can contaminate other recyclables.
- Please do not put plastic bags in recycling drop-offs, they can contaminate other recyclables.
- Plastic grocery bags, bread bags, dry cleaning bags, etc. can be recycled with your plastic grocery bags at participating local stores (for example Buehler’s and Wal-Mart).
