Other notes
- This is a household recycling-container site, not a general dump, landfill or staffed hazardous-waste facility. Keep trash, electronics, appliances, tires, batteries, chemicals, clothing, hoses and scrap metal out of ordinary bins.
- The district flyer linked by local townships has a November 2023 upload path. It describes daylight access seven days a week, mixed recycling, paper/cardboard, metal cans/cups, glass bottles/jars, cartons and plastic bottles/jugs/tubs/cups. Local signs and site-specific exclusions take priority.
- Rinse containers, empty liquids, flatten boxes and fit all items inside containers. Do not leave material beside full bins. No plastic bags/film, foam, window glass, mirrors or drinking glasses.
- Special collection dates and prices belong to separate district events. Do not assume fairground events or office hours apply to the township bins. Call the district at 419-334-7222 for materials not accepted here.
- Official township page explicitly places containers at the maintenance complex and gives this township address. They are emptied three times weekly and monitored by 24/7 cameras; camera coverage does NOT mean 24-hour drop-off.
- Township list: aluminum, cartons, cardboard, glass bottles, magazines, newspaper, office paper, paperboard, plastics #1-7 and steel cans. A plastic resin number is not blanket approval for toys, foam or film; use accepted container shapes and posted labels.
- NO STYROFOAM, NO PLASTIC BAGS, NO TRASH. Collapse cardboard so space remains for other households. This is Ottawa County, not the unrelated Ohio Portage County program.
