Officials from the City of Worthington and the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio (SWACO) formally opened a new Recycling Convenience Center at 380 Highland Avenue. The facility was funded in large part by a nearly $30,000 grant from SWACO, and will be a year-round collection point for residents to drop off harder-to-recycle items that canʼt be placed in a curbside recycling cart. The new facility is located adjacent to the cityʼs Service and Engineering building, and is open to the public for the responsible disposal and recycling of materials such as electronics, styrofoam, car batteries, anti-freeze and motor oil, and food scraps.
“Worthington strives to be a model for environmental stewardship, and this new convenience center provides an enhanced opportunity for members of our community to expand their recycling efforts close to home. We appreciate SWACOʼs partnership and financial support in this endeavor,” said Worthington city manager, Robyn Stewart.
