Trustees adopt Portage County solid waste plan after county recycling presentation

Don Collins of Portage County Solid Waste told the Springfield Township Board of Trustees that the district’s five-year solid waste plan focuses on landfill capacity over the next decade and on diversion and education programs. He said the district meets Ohio EPA participation metrics and noted, "Porter County has 92%." Collins described CHARM — the Center for Hard-to-Recycle Materials — as a drive-through service for items such as appliances with Freon, tires (50¢ each), electronics and plastic bags, and explained that household hazardous waste collections are held the first Monday of the month, 2–5 p.m.
