Plastic Grocery Bags
Kroger, Giant Eagle, and Meijer
Hilliard retailers such as Kroger and Giant Eagle receptacles collect soft plastic bags (not limited to but including grocery bags) for recycling.
It’s important that the plastic bag be thin and soft, about the consistency of a plastic grocery bag. If it crinkles, it will not be able to be recycled through these programs.
Light Bulbs and Batteries
Batteries+ Bulbs
Compact florescent light bulbs and household/alkaline can be recycled within Hilliard at Batteries Plus Bulbs (there may be a fee involved).

RenTek and Accurate IT
Businesses such as RenTek and Accurate IT will recycle computers and other household electronics in Franklin County.

Medicines and Prescriptions
