Solid Waste in the (Small) City

Hear from small Central Ohio communities about the innovative and replicable ways they're working to reduce waste from the Franklin County Sanitary Landfill, including upstream and downstream solutions for the residential, business, and institutional sectors.

With differing strategic priorities, capabilities, and funding sources, small- and medium-sized Central Ohio municipalities are taking matters into their own hands by implementing creative ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle. Learn how best practices are shared among neighboring cities and explore what is on the horizon in Central Ohio.

This session will highlight three Central Ohio community programs: Bexley’s Universal Recycling program, Upper Arlington’s food waste recycling program, and Westerville’s electronic and light collection. Learn how to start, promote, and measure the success of a program.
