Other notes

Monthly collections accept clean paper/cardboard/paperboard, newspapers, magazines, officepaper/junkmail and rinsed cans, glass bottles/jars and #1/#2 plasticcontainers. No plasticbags; use designated material streams.
Gomer is a different third Saturday 9 a.m.-noon program at 4305 West Lincoln Highway with materials separated. Do not assume Gomer accepts every item in the broader monthly program.
Delphos conflict: district website lists fourth Saturday 9 a.m.-noon at Truck Wash 1770 East Fifth Street; linked undatedbrochure lists 8-11 a.m.and confusing Township Hall/Spencerville labels at sameaddress. Call district before using Delphos; mainaddressesabove do not depend on that conflict.
The actual 2026 HH Wflyer ends October 28 and is appointment-only. No November HH Wopening or automatic 2027 schedule invented. Monthlyordinaryrecycling is separate from seasonal chemicals.
Districtbrochure also lists private full-time outlets with different glass/sorting rules. This page does not collapse all facilities into one assumed 24/7 dropoff. Fourth Thursdaycollection can coincide with Thanksgiving; call for confirmed exception.
