Farm tires to be collected on Aug. 25
The Clark County Combined Health District and the
Clark County Waste Management District have teamed up to once again
provide a free tire collection for Clark County residents who are Farm
Bureau members.
Members may deliver any and all tires on Wednesday, Aug. 25, to the
Clark County Fairgrounds, between 7 a.m. and noon. Enter at Gate A1 and
please be prepared to show proof of Clark County residence.
The
program is funded with a tire amnesty grant from the Ohio Department of
Natural Resources, Division of Recycling and Litter Prevention.
Members are encouraged to make good use of this free collection, as free events will only be held when grant funding is available. A free tire collection event for all Clark County residents is planned for Nov. 20 at the Clark County Combined Health District.
Recycling Center now takes technotrash
The Clark County Recycling Center now offers a box for recycling of small electronic items, such as CDs, printer cartridges, MP3 players, hard drives, flash drive, and VHS and audio tapes. There's no charge for placing items in the box located at our 1602 W. Main St. facility.
The Technotrash box is a product of Green Disk, a company that provides secured, audited disposal of electronic media and recycles the resulting material to make office supplies. For a complete list of all items accepted, go to http://www.greendisk.com/Pop-ups/Items-to-dispose-of.html.
