Licking County • March 11, 2025
Good morning, Licking County. A staggering 4.8 million pounds of recycling collected in a single year speaks volumes about our community's commitment to sustainability. While cardboard tops the list of materials dropped at the county's 22 public sites, the program continues to evolve, now accepting those pesky plastic "clamshell" containers that once headed straight to landfills. This environmental success story runs parallel to another transition, as Michelle Snow steps into her new role as C-TEC superintendent with ambitious workforce development plans perfectly timed for Intel's regional impact.
Art lovers have reason to celebrate this March as the Bryn Du Mansion transforms into a showcase for creative excellence. The 21st Annual Bryn Du Art Show will feature 77 talented artists selected from nearly 700 submissions, with the vast majority representing Ohio talent. From paintings to ceramics to fiber art, this free exhibition reminds us that amid all our growth and change, Licking County's cultural heart remains vibrantly intact.

🏫 Michelle Snow takes helm at C-TEC with bold expansion plans. After serving 13 years at the career and technology education center, Snow stepped into the superintendent role on February 1st, succeeding Joyce Malainy's 15-year tenure. She's focusing on workforce development and assessing potential program expansions to meet the needs of Licking County's growing business community, particularly with Intel's arrival in nearby New Albany. Snow has already demonstrated success by doubling the capacity of C-TEC's electrical trade program and helping launch similar programs at local high schools. She aims to maintain strong relationships with area superintendents while ensuring the school remains fiscally responsible.
♻️ Licking County recycled a staggering 4.8 million pounds in 2024. The materials were collected through 22 public drop-off sites throughout the county, though the total represents a slight decrease from previous years after one site was removed. Cardboard was the most common item recycled, with residents encouraged to flatten boxes to save space. The program recently expanded to accept plastic "clamshell" containers and various cups, maintaining a low contamination rate of 5-6%. The recycling program is funded by the CFLP Solid Waste District and the Licking County Board of Commissioners.
