BRIEF HISTORY AND DISTRICT PLAN

The Ohio Legislature created Solid Waste Districts in 1988 by statute to address the growing problems of solid waste disposal.  This and other statutes brought in more definitive regulation of landfills and establish state-wide goals for developing recycling.

Every County in Ohio is required to either become a single-county district or join with other counties to create a multi-county district.  Logan County became a single-county Solid Waste District on March 9, 1989.

Each District is required to develop a District Plan to promote and encourage waste reduction, re-use, and recycling focused on industrial, commercial and residential waste generators.  The District Plan must be approved by local governing bodies and finally by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency for implementation and covers period from three to fifteen years. 

The Logan County Solid Waste Management District original Plan was approved December 24, 1996, with a Plan Update approved December 29, 2005.  The District is currently writing a Plan Update with expected approval in 2009 covering the period 2009 through 2014.

The current District Plan Update from 2005 is available for public inspection at the Solid Waste Management District Office, the Office of the County Commissioners, and at the Logan County Public Library.
