Ever wondered where your refuse and recycling goes?
Republic Services is Bluffton’s refuse and recycling provider. It is a large-scale, nationwide company, with a local team based in Lima. Republic Services collects and recycles over five million tons of material annually. It also serves Ada, Lima, Ottawa and Carey, among other area villages. The village of Bluffton has contracted its services until 2019, when the contact is up for renewal.
When your refuse is collected from your curb, it goes to a landfill in Carey.
It's not a used car lot or a car show room, but there's lots of power under those hoods. Icon viewers will see this collection of impressive vehicles in the Bluffton Public Library display case.
