Recycling trailers back in action

BUCYRUS — The recycling trailers have been returned. Trailers in the following locations will be available Monday – Friday and will be emptied daily: Bucyrus City Hall. Quality Inn, Crestline Village Hall and Galion East Park.

The trailer in New Washington will be available Monday – Friday and will be emptied on Wednesday.

In lieu of carts, we are now going to have a trailer at Lowe-Volk Park. All cardboard will go in the green dumpster and all other recyclables will go in the trailer. Please break down all cardboard before placing in dumpster. That trailer will be available Monday to Thursday.

Please keep all recyclables in all locations off the ground and that includes anything placed in bags. Do not mix recyclables. If a compartment you need is full, do not put your stuff in a different compartment. This leads to contamination and may cause the entire tub to be thrown in the landfill.

No trailers will be available on the weekends. Group recycling is still cancelled and may not return. For more information, call 419-562-4169.
