Solid Wastes & Nuisances
Solid Wastes
This program annually licenses and inspects solid waste facilities to assure compliance with Ohio Revised Code section 3734 and is annually surveyed and approved by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. Active landfills, closed landfills, transfer stations, construction/demolition sites, infectious waste treatment facilities, large generators of infectious waste, scrap tire generators, compost sites and open dumping must be inspected.​

​
-
Class I (accepts mixed solid waste, food waste, and yard waste)
-
Class II (accepts yard waste, animal wastes, and other wastes by approval)
-
Class III (accepts yard waste and/or animal wastes)
