    Parkersburg Recycles Mandatory | Parkersburg News

    Parkersburg’s recycling program is getting a major overhaul after a judge ruled its subscription model illegal. The city is ditching the $1.50 fee plus optional $3 bin charge, replacing it with a flat $3 surcharge for all residents and businesses—making recycling mandatory under state law. Everyone must now separate at least three recyclable materials, with businesses handling their own pickups. The city expects around 1,000 more participants, potentially turning a profit or issuing refunds if turnout is low. A controversial $50 monthly penalty for non-compliance is under discussion, though enforcement is widely questioned. The mayor laments the financial burden on residents, blaming a flawed state law and a lawsuit. This is just the first step—more council votes lie ahead.

    State Oversight Leaves Taxpayers in Lurch | Parkersburg News

    Wood County’s handling of a hundred-plus property owners’ tax debts is turning into a bureaucratic mess — thanks to the state auditor’s two-month delay in sending redemption forms, leaving properties unmarked and taxes unpaid for years. Now, the county plans to dump years of back taxes in one July 2027 letter, forcing some homeowners to pay multiple years at once — and since they lack old tickets, payments can’t even begin until next year. Attempts to pay without bills? Rejected. County leaders insist taxpayers aren’t at fault — it’s the state’s oversight — and are pushing for solutions, even offering face-to-face talks with state officials to prevent future chaos.

    Tomato Hornworms: Big Bugs, Big Problems | Parkersburg News

    Tomato hornworms are giant, green caterpillars with a serious appetite—up to four inches long and capable of devouring entire tomato plants overnight. They target nightshade crops like potatoes, peppers, and eggplants, overwinter as pupae in the soil, and emerge as five-inch hawk moths active at dawn and dusk. Spot them by their telltale droppings, then hand-pick and drown them in soapy water. For natural control, use BT or spinosad sprays, or welcome nature’s helpers: ladybugs, lacewings, and parasitic wasps that lay eggs inside the hornworms—those white projections? Leave them alone; the wasps will do the rest. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
