Recycling in Upper Sandusky: A Local Guide
Upper Sandusky, the Wyandot County seat in north-central Ohio, is home to two specialized industrial recycling and processing facilities. Neither operates as a public drop-off site for household recyclables — both serve commercial and industrial clients exclusively.
4Ward Carbon Refining (411 N Warpole St) is a scrap silver recovery and refining operation that purchases used industrial carbon-metal brushes — including wind turbine slip ring brushes, shaft grounding brushes, and aerospace brushes — along with silver babbitt and aerospace bearings, and carbon brush dust. The company performs on-site refining at its Upper Sandusky facility, extracting silver, copper, and graphite. Industrial generators must call (740) 855-1616 before sending or delivering any material; this is not a walk-in public drop-off.
Dlubak Glass Co (11567 County Hwy 110) is a large-scale industrial glass processor and broker founded in 1932. The Upper Sandusky plant handles automotive windshields, plate and insulated window glass, PVB interlayer, specialty glass, and container glass — ranking among the largest U.S. processors of automotive and container glass by volume. Dlubak works with commercial and industrial suppliers and is not a municipal or public drop-off center for household glass bottles and jars. Contact sales at (419) 294-4466 or sales@dlubak.com to discuss grades and quantities.

What types of materials does 4Ward Carbon Refining buy?
4Ward Carbon Refining purchases used and worn carbon-metal slip ring brushes, wind turbine generator brushes (Vestas, ABB, and similar), silver babbitt and aerospace bearings, and carbon brush dust — all materials that contain metal content such as silver, copper, or tin.
