Newark does not require residential recycling. Curbside recycling is offered through the Licking County Recycling Program and via the city's contracted haulers (Waste Management, Republic Services). Drop-off recycling is available at Licking County's central facility.
Newark has no mandatory residential recycling ordinance - participation is voluntary. The Licking County Recycling Program operates a drop-off and curbside service in cooperation with the haulers. Acceptable materials typically include paper, cardboard, aluminum/steel cans, and #1 and #2 plastics; glass acceptance varies by hauler. Yard waste is handled separately - Newark residents typically subscribe to a hauler's yard waste add-on or use Licking County's compost drop-off. Hazardous household waste (paint, motor oil, electronics) requires Licking County's seasonal HHW events.
No municipal recycling penalty. Mixing yard waste or trash with recycling can trigger non-collection by haulers under their contract terms.
