SWACO and the city of Worthington will be cutting a recyclable ribbon on Friday, May 8th to open our region’s newest Recycling Convenience Center. The facility is made possible in large part through a grant from SWACO and can accept many harder-to-recycle items such as electronics, Styrofoam, car batteries, anti-freeze and motor oil, and food scraps. In addition, residents without access to curbside recycling can use the facility to drop off the things that usually go in curbside carts such as paper and cardboard, metal cans, glass bottles, and plastic tubs.

Worthington Recycling Convenience Center Grand Opening:

Friday, May 8th
10:00 a.m.
380 Highland Avenue
