other Household Hazardous Wastes to SWACO.
All materials collected from residents are recycled if possible or
disposed of in the most environmentally sound manner. A complete list of acceptable items is
available online at www.swaco.org/SmartPeople/HHW.aspx. A reminder, SWACO does not accept latex or
water based paints at HHW collections.
Those paints are not hazardous and once dried can be thrown in the trash. If you are unsure whether the paint is water
based or latex, read the instructions on the can. Any paint that cleans up with soap and water
will not be accepted.
SWACO’s permanent
residential HHW collection center at 1249 Essex Avenue in Columbus is available

Township-wide Trash Collection
The Township Trustees have voted for a five year
contract with Local Waste, which includes two additional one year extensions
and a built-in out clause after three years.
This contract will include three services, which include trash pick-up,
recycling, and yard waste. Residents
will be paying $13.78 fixed per month for three services when it goes into
effect January 1, 2011. A fuel surcharge
could be added to what a resident pays depending on the density of the area and
a second surcharge would come from the increase in the tipping fee. For more information view the Township
newsletter using the link at the top of this page.
