Farm & Residential Tires (Click on image above to view PDF): 
There will be a Farm Tire collection this summer that is only for farms operating in the District. Registration for the Farm tire collection will be by phone registration only- calling the main office 419-334-7222 ext. 2. Farm tires will be charged $1/$10/$20 depending on the height of the tires being recycled. Farms should be prepared to know the total number and height of tires before calling the District to register for the collection. A residential tire collection will be in the fall with sites set up in all three counties. Tires will be accepted on or off the rim. Residential tires will cost $1 each, and any racing tires will be $3 each. Please call the OSS office for specific drop off instructions if you plan on dropping off more than 10 tires for the residential tire collection.

Household Hazardous Waste:
The Household Hazardous Waste collection and the Appliance collection will fall on the same date, but registrations will need to be done separate. That is, if a resident wants to go participate in both collections they should register for both. The following items will no longer be accepted at the HHW collection: motor oil, lead acid batteries, gas cylinders, and non-regulated putties and adhesives. Used motor oil can be taken to any number of auto service stores in the area including, Wal-Mart, O’Reilly’s, and Advance Auto Part, not to mention the many local auto service stores also in the area. Similar auto service shops that sell lead acid batteries will also take the old batteries for proper disposal. Rechargeable batteries can be taken to your nearest Lowes Department store for recycling. Alkaline batteries are non-hazardous and once dead can be disposed of properly to be landfilled. Gas canisters and cylinders, including propane (accepted at the District’s appliance collections), helium, Freon, isocyanates, CO2, O, MAPP gas, acetylene, argon, etc. are not going to be accepted at the HHW collection anymore. All of the remaining gases are accepted at Environmental Recycling Group and Rader Environmental.

Appliances:
There will be an appliance collection on the same date as the Hazardous Waste Collection, but registration will be necessary for both collections if the resident wants to participate in both of them. For the collection, sites will be available in all three counties. Items primarily made out of steel, including air conditioners, dehumidifiers, lawn mowers, and items containing freon will be taken at no charge. Please be sure to remove any food items inside freezers and refrigerators. Items made primarily out of plastic will not be accepted – including plastic fans and vacuum cleaners.
