Butler County announces 2025 recycling program with drop-off events in Middletown

During the recent Morgan Township Trustee Meeting held on May 8, 2025, significant discussions centered around the upcoming recycling program and community engagement initiatives. The meeting highlighted the importance of environmental responsibility and the township's efforts to facilitate proper waste disposal for residents.

The Butler County recycling and solid waste program has published its 2025 schedule, which includes several key events aimed at promoting recycling and safe disposal of hazardous materials. Notably, the household hazardous waste drop-off will occur every Thursday from July through October 30, from 2 PM to 7 PM at Republic Services located at 3555 Yankee Road in Middletown. Additionally, a computer and TV drop-off will be available every Friday during the same months from 9 AM to 1 PM at the Cohen Middletown facility at 3120 South Verity Parkway. A tire recycling event is also scheduled for Saturday, October 25, from 8 AM to 1 PM at the Butler County Fairgrounds. Residents are reminded that proof of Butler County residency, such as a driver's license, will be required for participation in these events.

Trustees discussed the possibility of sponsoring a local recycling event similar to one recently held in Crosby Township, which featured multiple roll-off containers for residents to dispose of tires and electronics. This initiative could enhance community involvement and provide a convenient option for residents to manage their waste responsibly. The trustees acknowledged the need to explore funding options, either through township resources or potential partnerships with Butler County.

Overall, the meeting underscored the township's commitment to environmental stewardship and community service. As the recycling events approach, residents are encouraged to stay informed through the township's website and social media channels for updates and additional information. The discussions reflect a proactive approach to waste management, aiming to foster a cleaner and more sustainable environment for Morgan Township.
