Ashland County Recycling Center

This is the Ashland County Recycling Center on Middle Rowsburg Road, where locals drop off curbside overflow and recyclables that won't fit in bins. Neighbors from Ashland and surrounding townships use it for paper, cardboard, glass, plastics and metals. The place looks like a county-run operation rather than a private plant-practical and no-frills.

Drive in past a small entrance booth and pull up to a scale; vehicles usually stop there on the way out for a weight check. Recycling bins and roll-offs sit to the right just beyond the booth, with larger collection areas and a handful of concrete pads further inside. The site is open, dusty on dry days and muddy when wet, and lines can form on weekends and during spring cleanup. There may be seasonal or special drop-off programs for items like electronics or appliances, but availability can vary.
