In 2018 the Danbury Township Board of Trustees were awarded a grant for $4,900 from the Ottawa Sandusky Seneca Solid Waste District to replace asphalt with concrete for the newer, small portion of the township recycling area. The asphalt was being undermined by the weight of the recycling trucks. The larger section of the recycling area was replaced with concrete during 2017. The township contributed the labor for site preparation along with an additional $2,230 to complete the project, which was finished in summer 2019.
