Document Destruction Day is Sustainable Saturday!

Thank you for your participation in Sustainable Saturday

477 cars participated in the event, recycling 48 pounds of Styrofoam, six 65-gallon carts of linens for donation to the Ohio Wildlife Center, two carts of e-waste and nine full carts of clothes for donation to Goodwill. In addition to the two onsite trucks for document destruction, residents filled 26 95-gallon carts 

Stay tuned for the 2024 dates

Recycle More Than Paper

In addition to old documents, the City invites visitors to bring their Styrofoam packaging materials, e-waste and gently used textiles. Help contribute to the over 2.5 tons of Styrofoam already recycled by the Dublin community.

Textiles will be used to help support the care and rehabilitation of animals at the Ohio Wildlife Center.

Clothing and other small house items will be donated to Goodwill. Clothing of any type or condition is accepted for collection. Old and tattered items are recycled into new material by Goodwill.

Dublin, Ohio aspires to be the most sustainable global city of choice, which includes increasing our diversion rate. By offering collection events and 24-hour drop-off of compost, Styrofoam and e-waste, Dublin is able to divert waste that may otherwise be put into the landfill.
