Earth Day 2023 in Hilliard: It’s That Time Again!
March 17, 2023
Thank you Hilliard for Earth Day 2023!
May 1, 2023
We’re so looking forward to joining all of you during our annual Earth Day Recycling Drive on Saturday, April 15, 2023 from 10am-1pm!
This year, Franklin County Fairgrounds and the Franklin County 4-H Walk and Serve have generously partnered with us to host our Recycling Drive at the Franklin County Fairgrounds. The Recycling Drive will occur with other community-oriented events throughout the day with all our friends, old and new!

Gate 5 One-Way Entrance on Northwest Parkway to the Recycling Drive: For the Recycling Drive, all traffic must enter through Gate 5 on Northwest Parkway and immediately turn to the East into the parking lot. Volunteers will gather information about what items you’ve brought to recycle and collect any cash if necessary for Electronic items (full Electronic recycling guidelines available here).
They will direct you through the one-way traffic South in the most efficient manner to allow you to hit all the recycling areas that you need. Please continue to follow your route and continue along the one-way exits from the Fairgrounds up through Gate 4 or, if you’d like to join the Walk and Serve, head West along the two-way traffic in green to the Walk and Serve area.

Recycling Event Schedule
The recycling collection this year will be the same as previous years:
- RenTek will again be collecting electronics. Some items do have a disposal fee: CRT monitors are $30; printers/scanners/fax machines are $3 each; MACs are $50 each; tube/projection tvs are $3 per inch, and LCD/flat screens are $10 each. All fees must be paid IN CASH. No exceptions. No hazardous materials, smoke detectors, alkaline batteries, fire extinguishers, small appliances, tapes, disks, or books.
- The City of Hilliard will collect polystyrene Styrofoam at the event. Please no tape, no food containers, no peanuts, no “flexible” foam, and no colored polystyrene. This collection will be in addition to the everyday Styrofoam drop-off across from the Municipal Building, open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
- MidOhio ReStore (Habitat for Humanity) will be taking functioning household goods. Please visit their website to learn what is acceptable to donate.
- Office-type paper will be shredded onsite by Black Ops Destruction. As always, we ask that you remain in the car as we take your material to the machine. 3 banker boxes (16”L by 12”W by 10.5”H) per car is the maximum. We will quickly inspect each box or bag to ensure that there is nothing that could jam or break the shredder and do reserve the right to reject boxes of materials. Additionally, any box brought will need to go home with you, but empty!
