Oss Recycling & Processing Center

The Ottawa, Sandusky, and Seneca (OSS) Solid Waste District is dedicated to providing environmentally responsible waste management solutions for the residents and businesses within our three-county service area. Established to address the growing need for effective and sustainable waste management practices, the OSS Solid Waste District serves as a collaborative partnership between Ottawa, Sandusky, and Seneca Counties.

Our mission is centered around a commitment to quality waste stream management. This involves implementing innovative programs and initiatives that promote responsible waste disposal, resource conservation, and environmental protection. We strive to empower our community to actively participate in waste reduction, recycling, and reuse efforts, fostering long-term positive habits that contribute to a cleaner and healthier environment for generations to come.

Services Offered

The OSS Solid Waste District offers a comprehensive range of services aimed at promoting sustainable waste management practices.

Our commitment to recycling is evident in our robust recycling program, which provides convenient and accessible drop-off locations for various recyclable materials. We also organize regular special collection events for items that are not accepted in curbside recycling programs, such as household hazardous waste, lead acid batteries, tires, and electronics. These events ensure that these potentially harmful materials are properly collected, treated, and disposed of, minimizing their environmental impact.

In addition to our recycling and collection programs, we provide valuable educational resources and community outreach initiatives.

We recognize that public awareness and engagement are crucial for achieving our waste management goals. Through educational workshops, interactive programs, and engaging publications, we strive to inform residents and businesses about proper waste disposal methods, the benefits of recycling, and the importance of reducing waste generation.

We firmly believe in empowering communities to take an active role in environmental stewardship. Our district offers various programs and initiatives that encourage community involvement, such as the "Adopt-A-Road" program, which encourages residents and businesses to take ownership of keeping their local roadways clean. We also support community cleanup projects and events, providing resources and guidance to facilitate these efforts.

Our dedication to sustainable waste management extends to our partnerships with local organizations, businesses, and government agencies. We actively collaborate with stakeholders to develop innovative solutions and promote best practices for waste reduction, recycling, and disposal.
