The Boardman Township Recycling Program began in December 1990, and was
funded through the Mahoning County Solid Waste Management District. There are three sites available
for drop-off:
Fire Station #73, 1200 Shields Road
Fire Station #74, 6169 South Avenue
Road Department ( By SALT DOME ), 8299 Market Street
The participation in the recycling program was so great that in 1991 we
contracted with BFI to service 5,400 households with curbside recycling. Today,
the program includes all households in Boardman.
The materials accepted for recycling are clear, amber and green glass, #1 and #2
plastic, cardboard, newspapers, magazines, catalogs and aluminum and metal food
cans.
Every spring we sponsor a metals and appliance drive.
In addition, our recycling sites are also utilized by the Mahoning County
Probation Department as court ordered requirements for community service.
