Commissioner Appelfeller recognized Commissioners Teresa Bemiller, Thom Collier (absent from photo) both of Knox County, and Kerr Murray from Marion County for their years of service and dedication to the DKMM board.  Retiring Commissioner Bemiller stated that she had been a Commissioner for 16 years, but has been in public service in other roles for over 42 years.  DKMM staff also wish to thank these Commissioners for all of their service to the Board, and will miss their contributions to the District.

As of November 1, 2024, plastic clamshell containers are accepted in Rumpke and Mid-Ohio Sanitation recycling programs.  This includes all of the DKMM recycling drop-off locations.  Clamshells are the containers that some fresh fruits and vegetables (such as strawberries and some lettuces) are packed in.  This material is chipped into pellets and used by P&G right here in Ohio to make new product containers.  For a complete list of acceptable items, please click on this link.  Once you click on your county of residence, there will be a link for the acceptable items flyer.

The grant program is a competitive grant process and applications are due to the DKMM office no later than 2:00 p.m. on January 17, 2025.  For a link to the application please click here.
