CW teams up with SWACO

The City of Canal Winchester and the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio (SWACO) are teaming up to introduce Recycle Right, Make a Difference — an initiative aimed at improving the area’s rate of recycling.

In 2020, Canal Winchester negotiated a new waste hauling and recycling services contract with Rumpke Waste & Recycling. “In our first full year offering curbside recycling, Rumpke collected over 575 tons of recyclable material from our residents,” said Mayor Mike Ebert. “We’re proud of that number, but we know we can do better.”

Now, the city is partnering with SWACO to introduce Recycle Right, a program designed to promote proper recycling to residents using the curbside and drop-off programs. Utilizing recycling reminders, information about what to recycle, and access to a digital search tool, the Recycle Right program hopes to increase the effectiveness of recycling in the city and reduce the area’s reliance on landfills.

“It’s no longer enough to simply recycle, we must recycle correctly if we want to create the greatest economic and environmental benefits for Central Ohio,” said Hanna Greer-Brown, Communications Manager for SWACO.

One of the main goals of the Recycle Right campaign is to reduce the amount of non-recyclable items that are being put in curbside recycling carts.

The following materials are accepted for recycling at the curb:

  • Paper and cardboard

  • Plastic bottles, cups, jugs and tubs

  • Glass bottles and jars

  • Metal cups and cans

  • Carton containers

Proper recycling can have a lasting positive impact on both the environment and on local economies. The Recycle Right campaign is designed to improve recycling and the economy in ways that will pay off for years to come.
