The Defiance County Horseman\u2019s Council has once again spent many hours cleaning up along the Maumee River. This organization enjoys taking rides along the two mile stretch of Coffin Road that borders both Defiance and Paulding Counties; but find that the scenic byway is marred by all the litter and trash along the path. So, to make their ride more pleasant, they have started to clean up this area.<\/p>\n

\"coffin<\/a>Many of the items found can be disposed of in an environmentally safe way. One way is by recycling certain items such as plastic, steel cans, glass bottles, tires; even electronics. If placed along roads, ditches or river banks, these items become litter and create a dump site. These sites can become ugly and dangerous to not only humans, but to wildlife. Everyone needs to be good stewards of their environment and county.<\/p>\n

If anyone would like information about recycling opportunities in Paulding County, please call Becky Suvar, WMEA Program Manager at 419-399-3630.<\/p>\n

The Paulding County Commissioners and the WMEA Program would like to extend their appreciation to the Defiance County Horseman\u2019s council for being concerned citizens of the area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
