The Crawford Park District and the City of Bucyrus announce the opening of the Unger Park Multi-Use TrailAs some of you may have noticed, we have an exciting new feature at one of our parks! Through the combined efforts of the Crawford Park District, the City of Bucyrus, state grants, and multiple sponsors throughout our community, we now have a new paved trail at Unger Park!
The newly constructed, paved trail spans 1-mile and provides a safe place for walkers, joggers, and cyclists. Please note, this trail isn’t for motorized vehicles such as golf carts, dirt bikes, and electronic bikes to ensure the safety of all of our visitors. As you visit the trail, there may be some ongoing work in certain areas. We do ask that you give any service vehicles and workers their space during this time. Finally, we want you to be aware that during the winter months the trail will not be plowed, so if you decide to brave the snow, do plan accordingly. The new multi-use trail has two methods of access. First, there is a parking lot off Bucyrus-Nevada Road, roughly 700 feet west from the primary parking lot at Unger Park. Secondly, you can access the trail from the Friendship Bridge at Aumiller Park. We hope that you all get out and enjoy the new trail! |
Recycling
Rumpke 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 in the parking lot at Lowe-Volk Park 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 lithium batteries with some new requirements; button and lithium batteries must be taped for us to accept them. We will still be collecting these in the Nature Center--not in the recycling bins. Alkaline batteries can be disposed of in your regular landfill collection containers. Please call 419-683-9000 if you have specific questions regarding recycling.
