SWACO’s household hazardous waste collection: 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
In addition to the fall cleanup, there will be household hazardous waste mobile collection hosted by the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 30, 2017 at the Grove City Service Department at 3262 Ventura Blvd. in Grove City. Franklin County residents may bring unused gasoline, lighter fluid, thinners, pool chemicals, oil-based paints, spray paints, fluorescent light bulbs, propane tanks less than 20 pounds, all types of batteries and corrosives such as drain cleaners.

Latex and water-based paints are water soluble and not considered hazardous. Paint hardeners such as cat litter, sawdust or paper shredding may be added to latex or water-based paints to solidify any unused paint. Lids also may be removed to speed the drying process. Paints once hardened may be discarded with residential trash.

There will be a $1 per container charge for the disposal of latex- water-based paint during the household hazardous waste collection. Residents can find a detailed list of accepted and non-accepted items at swaco.org.
