  • Ross, Pickaway, Highland, Fayette counties are all under the direction of RPHF Solid Waste District
  • Recycling location off Morris Rd., Circleville is a constant battle to keep the trash from being discarded
  • Other area recycling options are Island Rd; Rumpke; PICCA; Rhoads
  • What we recycle is based on what we have a market to sell – it is different per county which leads to confusion
  • 2018 – China was a large source for our recycled material, then stopped because of trash that was included in the bales of recycling
  • Look at the stickers on the bins as to what can be recycled
  • Plastic film/bags should NOT go into the bins, they can be taken to Kroger/Walmart
  • If you bring your recycling in a bag, please take the bag home with you
  • Some sites do have camera’s and law enforcement will be given evidence of dumping
  • Fayette County Recycling Center is a new concept that is being replicated by other counties. It is a membership system, fenced with camera’s and key fobs for entry.
  • Greenhouse plastic’s ARE NOT recyclable in Ohio; McDonald’s cups ARE; Yogurt cups ARE; Solo cups ARE NOT
  • The numbers on the bottom of plastics are defining the resin used, not if they are recyclable or not anymore
  • Events coming up from RPHF Solid Waste District
    • May 20th – 8am-noon. Tire & Electronic Disposal. Pickaway Co. Highway Dept. on Island Rd.
    • Sept. 9th – 8am-noon Ross County household hazardous waste
