Highland County Recycling has announced that they have added two new drop-off locations for residential recycling. Residents will now find drop-off containers in Sinking Spring at the Brushcreek Fire House, and in Mowrystown at the old feed mill on West Main Street/Rt. 321. “We are trying to make household recycling as convenient as possible for our residents” reports Dori Bishop, Outreach Specialist at Highland County Recycling. These recycling boxes are for residential use only. Schools, businesses and industries may contact Dori Bishop at 393-4080 for alternative resources for recycling.
The expense of collecting, transporting and sorting these recyclables is absorbed by the Ross-Pickaway-Highland-Fayette Solid Waste Management District. Residents can help keep this cost down by depositing only the proper materials. Mrs. Bishop reports that the proper recyclables at all locations in the Solid Waste District are very specific and include only these five items: glass bottles and jars, plastic bottles, jars and jugs, steel food cans, aluminum cans, clean paper and cardboard. Just take a look at the shape – bottles, jars, cans and clean paper and cardboard are the only acceptable materials for the program. Anything else will have to be placed with other garbage to go to the landfill, or to a commercial recycler. Please rinse out all bottles, jars and cans. Throw away the caps from the bottles and jars as they cannot be recycled. Collapse all cardboard boxes. “Clean” paper means newspapers, magazines, catalogs, telephone books, office paper and junk mail.
If you have questions about this residential program, or would like to know where you can take other materials to be recycled, please call Mrs. Bishop at Highland County Recycling, 937-393-4080.[[In-content Ad]]
