The public drop off recycling site in Granville Township has moved to a new location at 1181 River Road in Granville, which was previously the Granville Township garage site.
Access to the former drop off recycling site on Weaver Drive was going to be affected by the Ohio 37/661 and Ohio 16 interchange improvements starting in June.
Licking County residents can begin using the new site immediately.
There was “overwhelming support” from the Granville Township Trustees for the bins to be relocated to the new site, said Township Trustee Bryn Bird.
Residents are encouraged to understand what is and is not accepted in the recycling bins, so items can be properly separated and eventually be re-used and made into something else. Dumping of bulk items inside or outside of the bins is illegal.
Licking County Recycling contracts with Rumpke to empty the recycling bins and separate recyclable materials. The following materials are accepted in the bins:
?Cardboard boxes
?Paperboard
?Office paper
?Junk mail and envelopes
?Cartons (milk and juice – not eggs)
?Glass bottles and jars
?Plastic bottles and jugs
?Aluminum cans
?Steel cans
