RecyclingRumpke Waste Management is now handling the County's recycling needs. You will see that recycling collection looks a bit different. You will no longer see the trailers, but instead there are containers that look more like dumpsters. It is no longer necessary to separate your recycling; it can all go in the same dumpster. As always, please do not put garbage bags full of recycling in the containers or household trash. The dumpsters will now be at our Lowe-Volk Park location 24/7 for your convenience. However, with the new management of the recycling, we are no longer able to accept light bulbs. We are still a drop off point for batteries with some new requirements; button, 9-volt, and lithium batteries must be taped for us to except them. We will still be collecting these in the Nature Center not in the recycling bins. Please call 419.683.9000 if you have specific questions regarding recycling.

Sandusky Headwaters Preserve: Your newest park!
On October 21 at 1pm, Sandusky Headwaters Preserve officially opened to the public! CPD board members and staff were joined by many interested citizens from around the state for the ribbon cutting of not only the Preserve itself, but also to dedicate the H2Ohio project that is a focal point of the property.
ODNR Director Mary Mertz spoke about the accomplishments of the H2Ohio projects across the state. These projects will aid in reducing nutrient loads that enter Lake Erie with the Sandusky Headwaters Preserve’s wetlands being the first line of defense in the Sandusky River watershed. Lt. Governor Jon Husted followed with remarks about the need for parks and preserves that provide passive outdoor recreational opportunities for the citizens of Ohio. CPD Director Josh Dyer concluded the grand opening ceremony by thanking the many groups and individuals that came together over the past two years to clean up and develop the property for the public to enjoy.
Be sure to visit your newest preserve to enjoy the scenic River Trail, the elevated boardwalk, and the life that thrives in the newly constructed wetlands. As we move forward, more trails will be developed, and the land will continually be managed. Sandusky Headwaters Preserve is open dawn until dusk, 365 days a year. Go take a hike!
