Help Hilliard “Go Green” by recycling this Earth Day! Hilliard’s Environmental Sustainability Commission (ESC) is hosting a community Earth Day event that will feature drop-off recycling opportunities for a variety of hard-to-recycle items that may be piling up at home.
The event will be held Saturday, April 12 from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m., at the Franklin County Fairgrounds, 4951 Northwest Parkway. Though Earth Day will be officially recognized April 22, the ESC celebrates a bit earlier due to some incredible partnerships.
View a map of the event, detailing drop-off locations for each type of recycling and direction of traffic. To drop off recycling, please enter the fairgrounds through Gate 5 on Northwest Parkway.
