The City of Hilliard will collect Styrofoam packaging for recycling in our city's densifier. Please remove any tape or labels from Styrofoam before dropping it off. Styrofoam must be clean.
Paper Shredding
Black Ops Destruction will collect financial, medical and other office papers only for shredding in this drive.
Newspapers, magazines, junk mail and cardboard should be placed in your recycle container for weekly curbside pickup.
Each car may only have 3 “banker boxes” to unload. A banker box is roughly 16”L by 12”W by 10.5”H.
Each resident will be responsible for taking their empty boxes back with them. We will be checking the boxes for foreign material and will reject boxes if there is contamination.
This event will be limited to 13,000 pounds of shredding. Once truck capacity is reached, the event will end.
