Ohio County Officials Consider Outsourcing Recycling

Ashland County, Ohio, officials are considering potential changes to the county’s recycling center. The county is seeking proposals for two possible options, according to an Ashland Source report.

One option would be to outsource all recycling operations of the Ashland County Recycling Center, including collection and processing, to an outside company, the report notes. The second option would outsource some, but not all, of the services currently offered.

County commissioners have hired GT Environmental to help assess options and distribute request for proposals from recycling companies.
