Mount Sterling council is getting the
word out about a new recycling option in the
village.
“On the fourth Monday of every month,
the village will be partnering with the Ohio
Solid Waste District, the Pleasant Township
Trustees and the United Church to offer
complimentary recycling to residents,” said
council member Becky Martin. “Taking
place at the vacant lot on the corner of High
and Columbus streets in Mount Sterling,
residents can drop off a variety of their recyclables.”
From 9 to 11:30 a.m. on the designated
Mondays, residents can drop off paper,
newspapers, magazines, cardboard, aluminum
cans, steel food cans, glass food bottles
and jars and No. 1 and No. 2 plastic
bottles and jugs.
“Please remember you cannot leave your
recycling there if there is not an attendant
to take it from you,” Martin said. “If you
leave it there without someone there, that
is breaking the law because that would be
illegal dumping.”
Martin also stated that the collection site
does not accept household hazardous waste,
electronics, tires or other solid waste.
Improper disposal of garbage has been an
ongoing issue in the village. The problem recently
resulted in a backup on West Main
Street, according to Courtney Bricker, fiscal
officer and clerk of council.
“We had a sewer issue on West Main
Street and taking care of that was a two-day
event,” Bricker said. “We found a lot of items that were not disposed
of correctly, including solution containers and a lot of disposable
wipes. These materials will not break down in the sewer system
and instead get lodged in there and that is what happened here.”
Bricker said the village will be opening other manhole covers to
make sure items aren’t lodged in other parts of the sewer system.
Also during the meeting, council members thanked residents for
showing support of veterans during the Veterans Day ceremony at
the town gazebo. Residents can continue to show their support by
purchasing bricks to be placed around the veterans monument at
the gazebo. The bricks can be engraved with the names of veterans
or current military service men or women, or with well wishes to
regional military. The bricks come in two sizes, 4x8 inches for $50
and 8x8 inches for $100.

wishes next to the live reindeer display in the McDonald’s side
parking lot off of Main Street, just north of High Street. In case of
bad weather, he will move inside to nearby Trinity Episcopal
Church, 10 E. Fourth St.
At 6 p.m., the DLA will pay tribute to veterans in a ceremony at
the veterans monument on the Madison County Courthouse lawn.
A uniformed serviceman will read the names of all deceased veterans
from Madison County who served in war from the Korean War
forward. Additionally, anyone is welcome to pay tribute to a veteran
by writing the veteran’s name on a ribbon to be placed on a tree set
up next to the monument. The ribbons will be available at the site
for the remainder of the holiday season.
Throughout the evening, horse-drawn wagon rides will run between
Cowling Park and First Street, the Music Men barbershop
quartet will stroll the streets, performing a variety of tunes, and
costumed characters will hand out candy. A special backdrop for
free photo ops will be set up outside Fine Designs & Interiors, 11
S. Main St.; bring your own camera or camera phone.
A wreath auction will take place in the parking lot at Huntington
Bank, 2 E. High St. Participants will place bids in sealed boxes.
The wreaths, all decorated in Christmas themes, will go to the highest
bidders.
Businesses and other organizations in the downtown area will
host open houses and activities and offer refreshments. The DLA
has created a streetscape map that shows which locations are participating
and in what ways. Free copies of the maps can be found
in downtown retail businesses.
“Olde Fashioned Christmas gives people a chance to meet
friends downtown. It’s fun, entertaining and enjoyable,” said DLA
member Jack Starr. “Plus it’s a chance to show people that the
downtown is growing and rejuvenating.”

display by the Mount Sterling Community Museum. Judging for
the Ugly Christmas Shirt contest is set for 2:30 p.m.
Visitors also are invited to make Christmas greeting cards for
veterans at the VA Hospital in Chillicothe. Each child who visits
Santa will receive a gift. Visitors can vote on their favorite gingerbread
houses, as well as bid on a Christmas quilt created by the
center’s Sew Social Ladies. The quilt silent auction runs Nov. 26-
Dec. 21.
“The quilt is beautiful. It has a rural farm theme and is machine-quilted.
I’m sure just because of where we live, it will be very
popular,” Tomlinson said.
After the Community Center finishes its activities at 4 p.m., the
Chamber will continue the fun into the evening. Churches, organizations,
crafters and vendors will be back on the town hall lawn
from 4 to 8 p.m. Businesses will stay open late for holiday open
houses. The caricaturist and face painter will return from 4:30-6
p.m. An illuminated parade is set for 6 p.m.
To participate in the parade or for a sales space at the Merry
Market, call Becky Martin at (740) 506-0006 or (740) 831-4200.
