Ohio’s Medina County gets curbside single-stream recycling service
<![CDATA[

Kimble Cos., headquartered in Dover, Ohio, has expanded residential curbside recycling and trash pickup throughout the unincorporated areas of the 17 townships in Ohio’s Medina County. Kimble also is expanding commercial recycling and waste collection to all county businesses.

President Keith Kimble says the company now offers a new recycling service option to Medina County residents and businesses. It is the first one-bin, no-sort curbside recycling program to serve Medina County. Kimble Cos. is providing its customers with bright green wheeled carts for their recyclables.

Residents have responded positively and are delivering recyclables to the community recycle drop-off locations Kimble Cos. has been servicing on behalf of the county, the company says. Kimble Cos.’s new curbside option, part of its new business venture and completely independent of the county program, is expected to appeal to those who want the simplicity the program offers and the ability to avoid trips to the drop-off sites. According to Kimble Cos., many residents have called, excited to also have curbside recycling available in the county.

“We’re a local company, based in nearby Dover, with a strong commitment to helping citizens throughout eastern Ohio do the right thing for the environment through recycling,” Kimble says. “Our business is focused on environmental stewardship and the convenience of our customers, who can now put their recycling in one cart to be collected every other week and wave goodbye with complete confidence that everything in that cart will go to our state-of-the-art processing facility.”

Beginning March 14, 2016, Medina County collections will occur Monday through Friday. As enrollment expands, Kimble Cos. says it will establish a regular schedule: Mondays in Sharon, Westfield, Guilford and Wadsworth townships; Tuesdays in York, Medina and Granger townships; Wednesdays in Liverpool, Brunswick Hills and Hinckley townships; Thursdays in Lafayette and Montville townships; and Fridays in Litchfield, Chatham, Harrisville, Spencer and Homer townships.

“Historically, Medina County has been underserved in terms of recycling, and we believe the majority of the people want to do their part in helping the environment,” Kimble says. “Our service is designed to let everyone who lives in Medina County recycle. Residents simply place their recyclables at the curbside with our one-cart, no-sort curbside pickup.”

In addition to this major step to advance recycling, Kimble Cos. says it is demonstrating its commitment to environment stewardship and innovation by converting more than half of its truck fleet to use natural gas instead of diesel fuel and has plans to convert more trucks each year.
