WHAT TO RECYCLE IN LOGAN COUNTY
Whether you recycle at your curbside in Bellefontaine, West Liberty, Lake Township or at one of the county drop-off sites the materials that can be recycled are the same.
PAPER PRODUCTS: newspapers, magazines, office paper, junk mail, telephone books, ad slicks, cereal and cracker boxes (called chipboard). Paper containers with wax or plastic coatings are not recyclable, such as pet food bags, frozen food packages, and milk containers.
CARDBOARD: Cardboard is not trash. Flatten it or cut it into pieces so it will compact in the cardboard containers at drop-off sites, or fit in recycling containers at curbside. The District will soon have large cardboard recycling bins placed around Bellefontaine to make cardboard recycling much easier.
COMINGLE CONTAINERS: Whether curbside or at drop-off locations a co-mingle container is used to contain glass bottles, aluminum and tin cans, and plastic bottles labeled #1 or #2 plastic.
HOUSEHOLD BATTERIES: No battery should be in the trash going to the landfill. Collect all your household batteries, even the small button type, and place them in a clear plastic baggy, such as a zip-lock bag. At drop-off sites locate a 5 gallon container for depositing batteries. At curbside place the zip-lock bag on top of your recycle bin in plain view for the driver; he will collect them and keep them separate from the rest of the material.
