The Athens-Hocking Solid Waste District is the most beautiful solid waste district in all of Ohio. The goal of the solid waste district is to reduce, reuse, and recycle solid waste that is generated in the district and to develop plans and programs and evaluate its successes. The district is responsible for planning and implementing, and the oversight of a 15 year comprehensive management plan.

Our primary goal is to reduce, reuse, and recycle and eliminate adverse impacts of waste materials on public health and the environment. We do this by providing information and opportunities, expertise to businesses and residents, and providing programs that support sustainable materials management to reduce the environmental impact of waste.

Athens-Hocking Solid Waste District has a District Director, a Policy Committee and a Board.  AHSWD Board Meetings will be held on March 10, June 9, September 22 and December 8, 2025.  If you would like to get notices of AHSWD meetings, please email us at athenshockingswd@gmail.com
