**********If the Courthouse is closed due to weather, recycling will be closed also. Please see the county website at www.putnamcountyohio.gov if they are closed or see our facebook page. ********* The Ottawa Recycle Center hours are Mon. thru Fri. 9-5, but closed on holidays and for Roads Level 3. Open the 1st & 3rd Saturdays of the month. Upcoming Saturday dates are March 2nd & March 16th and April 6th & April 20th from 8AM to 11AM. Check out our Facebook page for updated information. Recycling will be closed on Friday, March 29, 2024 AT NOON in Observance of Good Friday. Recycling has started up the DRIVE THRU recycling since Monday, July 17, 2023. The hours will remain the same, Mon-Fri 9am-5pm and the 1st & 3rd Saturdays 8-11am. You will continue to use the drive closest to the railroad tracks, across from Car-e-its back parking lot. Stay to the right and drive all the way to the last building. You will be using the very last big overhead door in the last building to pull into. Please wait for an attendant to direct you and help you. Please remain in your car so they can keep things moving. You will then exit to the right. Please be patient and bear with us for this new work in process. Thank you from the Putnam County Solid Waste District, Putnam County Commissioners Office and especially from the Recycling Employees out there!

Why recycle
