District partners with CES and City for Yearend Recycling

Perrysburg School District is planning its yearend recycling efforts in partnership with The City of Perrysburg, Community Employment Services of Wood Lane (CES) and Bowling Green Recycling Center. The City of Perrysburg is loaning the district over 50 toters for the large amount of recyclable paper the district amasses during student locker cleanout and teacher room cleanouts at the end of the school year. Community Employment Services of Wood Lane is providing drop-off and pick-up services for the bins and Bowling Green Recycling Center will be the processing center for all collected materials.

The district’s recycling team has worked closely with Community Employment Services of Wood Lane, Bowling Green Recycling Center and the City of Perrysburg since 2008, when Perrysburg Schools renewed its commitment to recycling throughout the district. CES has a regular route where they stop at each of the district’s buildings and pick up plastic, cans and paper. The district also utilizes Allied Waste Services for paper and cardboard recycling.

Vic Gable, Employment Services Coordinator, Wood County Board of DD, has been the guiding voice in helping the district coordinate its recycling efforts with CES, the City of Perrysburg and Bowling Green Recycling.

“We are so happy with the support we’ve received from Community Employment Services of Wood Lane and the City of Perrysburg,” explained Thomas L. Hosler, Superintendent. “The knowledge Vic Gable at CES and Judy Hagen at the City have brought to the table has made this process seamless as we’ve continued to ramp up our recycling efforts over the years.”
