📚🎉 Save the Date! 🎉📚

Mark your calendars for Wednesday, August 5, from 5:00–7:00 PM!

This year, we're excited to announce a new location and a new partnership as the Back to School Bash grows into a larger community-wide event sponsored by United Way of Fostoria and will be held downtown Fostoria!

While the event may look a little different this year, the mission remains the same: bringing our community together to celebrate the start of a new school year, connect families with local organizations and resources, and help ease the cost of back-to-school shopping by providing school supplies and support for students and families.

We are thrilled to see this event continue to grow and become an even greater celebration of the students, families, schools, businesses, and organizations that make our community special.

More information will be shared in the coming weeks, but for now, be sure to save the date and plan to join us for an evening of fun, resources, and community spirit! If you have an organization who is interested in attending, please register using this form: https://forms.gle/Xmyc2fwsLBAwEqJs7

♻️ REMINDER: PLEASE USE THE FOUNDATION PARK RECYCLING SITE PROPERLY ♻️

Unfortunately, this is an example of illegal dumping that occurred at the Foundation Park Recycling Center over the weekend.

The recycling bins are intended ONLY for approved recyclable materials. Household garbage, furniture, construction debris, and other non-recyclable items should not be left at the site.

Please remember that the recycling center is monitored. The City does have cameras at the location, and footage is reviewed whenever illegal dumping occurs. Citations are issued when violations are identified.

If you are unsure what items can and cannot be dropped off at the recycling center, please visit our Recycling Resource Page:
https://fostoriaohio.gov/recycle-fostoria

Residents should also be aware that Fostoria Codified Ordinances Chapter 521, Section 521.08 addresses garbage disposal. Placing garbage in recycling bins is a third-degree misdemeanor punishable by up to 60 days in jail, a fine of up to $500, or both.

The Foundation Park Recycling Center is a valuable community resource, and it is up to all of us to help keep it clean and functioning properly.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
