County Services

The Defiance County Environmental & Administrative Services assists the public with litter control.  Our office picks up EVERY road in Defiance County, per year, at least once.  Defiance County has an approximate mileage total of 920 miles.  There are about 760 miles of Township/County roadways and about 163 miles of State/US Highways. That is a lot of miles of litter control!  Two Public Works Supervisors;  Pete Simonis and Marvin Hageman oversee a crew of CCNO trustees to assure all litter gets pickup up.  See Below:

In addition to the miles of litter picked up throughout Defiance County, the Environmental & Administrative Services offers assistance to the public when illegal dumping has occurred.  We have received numerous calls regarding appliances, sofa’s, bags of clothing, just dumped along a road.  We record the information and send a crew to pick up the ‘dumped’ items.

Dead deer on county roads can also be called into the E & A Office.  Please have complete directions when you call for the deer pickup, to assist our crews. Concerned citizens may call our office (419) 782-5442 and we will send a crew to the location to pickup.

During the winter months, Environmental & Administrative Services has responsibility to keep several County Facilities and Bridges free of ice and snow. We service the Courthouse, Commissioners Building, County Annex Building, Key Bank, Health Department, Good Samaritan Schools, Island Parkway County Offices, NOCAC, Sheriff’s Office and Sarah’s House.  Crews shovel and salt as needed to assure public parking and walk ways are cleared.
