Junk items such as tires, batteries, and old appliances like refrigerators, water heaters, washers and dryers may be taken directly to the Crawford County Landfill where they will be accepted for a small fee.
There is no charge at the recycle center for scrap metals, household, batteries, computers, keyboard, cell phones, fluorescent lamps or used motor oil.
NOTE: All items must be set at the edge of your property. The city will not go onto your property.
Removing these items will keep properties and neighborhoods looking neat and clean and keep them healthy by eliminating places for rats, mich, mosquitoes or other disease carrying vermin to live and multiply. Mosquitoes transmit more than just diseases such as encephalitis, west nile virus, yellow fever and malaria to humans. They also transmit encephalitis in horses, anthrax in sheep, and deadly parasites such as heartworms to our canine pets. Removing items like tires that accumulate stagnant water and allow mosquitoes to multiply reduces their population.

Winter safety messages
Stop.Leave.Call
Natural gas is safe and reliable but for a variety of reasons, leaks can sometimes occur. Follow these steps if you smell gas or think you have a leak:
STOP what you’re doing. Don't smoke or light a match. Don't open the windows. Don’t use anything that could cause a spark, like a phone, light switch, appliance or flashlight. Don’t start your car or use your garage door to leave.
LEAVE the area immediately. If you're inside, get out immediately. If you're outside, leave the area quickly.
CALL 911 and Columbia Gas: From a safe location, away from the building, call 911 and 1-800-344-4077 and wait for crews to arrive.
Never ignore suspected gas leaks or assume the leak will correct itself. Columbia Gas always prefers customers err on the side of caution and call.
Carbon Monoxide
Keep natural gas meters and exterior vents clear of snow and ice to prevent damage and provide easy access should maintenance be needed. Remove snow from the meter with hands or a broom. Never use a shovel, or kick or hit the meter to break away snow or ice. If the meter is encased in ice, contact Columbia Gas for assistance.
Space Heaters
Space heaters can provide additional comfort during the winter months, but should be used with caution. When using, place the space heater on a hard, non-flammable surface away from bedding, drapes, furniture and flammable products. Further, never use stoves, ovens or outdoor grills as a temporary sources of heat. For additional home safety tips, visit https://www.columbiagasohio.com/safety/know-your-home
Charitable giving
Through its Columbia Cares Program, Columbia Gas donates time, money and resources each year to local philanthropic programs and organizations. Key focus areas include safety, economic/workforce development, energy education & environment and hardship assistance. Columbia Gas thanks all of its nonprofit partners for the incredible work they are doing amidst difficult circumstances.
