Containers should be no more than thirty-two (32) gallons.

Recycling containers have been moved along W. 24th St. and are accessible at any time. Click the link below to see other drop off sites in Ashtabula County. County Solid Waste District Recycling Drop Off Sites For those residents that live in an area that hasn’t contracted with a waste hauler to provide curbside recycling, the Ashtabula County Solid Waste Management District provides access to recycling via “Drop Off” locations. These front load drop off containers are easily identified by their blue color, and matching infographic decals. Pay special attention to these decals, as they explain what “can” and “can not” be recycled through the Ashtabula County Solid Waste’s recycling system. While many items are “recyclable”, that doesn’t mean that they are recyclable/compatible through the Ashtabula County SWMD recycling program. Recyclables are a global commodity, which impacts the quantity and quality that producers need depending on the material. As markets flood, the commodity becomes less valuable, and the quality needed to bring the same price must be better. The District is held to certain standards by the ever more selective end user/commodities market, and deviating from these accepted items puts the recycling program at risk. Information on the City’s curbside recycling program can be found here . Recycling Sanitation Home Pay Your Trash Bill Recycling Center Curbside Recycling

Fire Department Contact Us 4326 Main Ave. Ashtabula OH 44004 440-992-7192 (Station) 440-992-7186 (Chief) chief@ashtabulafire.com Fire Department Home Emergency Preparedness Apparatus Roster Information and Useful Links In 1911 the City of Ashtabula enacted legislation to change the volunteer Fire Department into a fully paid professional service. This legislation made the Ashtabula Fire Department one of the first paid fire departments in the State of Ohio. Two pieces of apparatus were purchase; one a 1911 Seagrave chemical truck, the second a 1911 Robinson pumping engine with a chemical tank. Originally six men were hired and in September of 1911 began working out of a station on Bridge Street. This station was used until 1959 when it’s personnel took occupancy of a new station on West Ninth Street. In February of 1912, with the hiring of six additional men, the City opened a newly constructed station on Park Avenue at West 48th Street. The 1911 Robinson pumping engine was taken from Bridge Street and moved into this building. The department now had twelve paid men, with two pieces of motorized apparatus, working out of two stations. This station was manned until the early 1970′s when the proposed widening of 48th Street forced it to be moved. In 1974, with the completion of the present station on Main Avenue, the station on Park Avenue was closed. In 1987, the station on Ninth Street was closed do to financial difficulties within the City of Ashtabula. The Ashtabula Fire Department of today bears little resemblance to the department of 1911. The present Department roster of 21 uniformed personnel, 1 Fire Marshal and a Fire Chief. The station is staffed 24 hours a day with a minimum of 5 fire personnel staffing an Engine, Ladder and an Ambulance, with additional manning accomplished through emergency recall procedures. The two front-line trucks consist of a 1991, 102 foot Grumman Aerialcat Ladder Platform and a 2005 Sutphen Engine.
