Columbus Recycling Resources and Laws

Written by Frog Hauling on . Posted in Central Ohio, Columbus, Dumpster Blog, Junk Removal, Recycling Columbus, Waste Management.

Since 2012, Columbus’s recycling program has made a significant impact on preventing recyclable or reusable materials from reaching the landfill, but that’s not to say it hasn’t come with its own set of challenges. In fact, there is an industry-wide problem that’s been wreaking havoc on how we prevent waste. That being said, you’ll be glad to know that there are very easy, small adjustments we as Columbus citizens can make to ensure we aren’t adding to the problem.

Tackling the Trash Problem In Columbus Recycling Facilities

Diverting up to nearly 4,800 tons of recyclable material from the landfill in a single year, RecyColumbus extends beyond the limits of I-270, a notably sized program. So you can imagine that, although there are convenient guidelines available through the program, the program is met with an overwhelming amount of non-collectable items and non-recyclable trash ending up in recycling bins.

Not only does this make the entire system less efficient, it also causes recycling center equipment to jam up or break down. Plastic bags, wires, hoses and the like can work their way through belts and into joints of machinery, resulting in major damage while the addition of broken glass and flammable containers also can present a danger to employees having to pick out inappropriate items by hand.

Contaminated materials and unwashed food containers present several other problems. Greasy pizza boxes, unwashed sour cream containers, and more can attract pests and rodents as well as cause unsanitary working conditions while spoiling the remaining load of materials, causing the materials to be rejected by the recycling facility.

When these contaminated items are rejected they have to be shipped to the landfill, creating an additional environmental impact by doubling the shipment it would have taken if the items were disposed of properly, from the start.

Columbus Business Spotlight: Columbus Architectural Salvage

Written by Frog Hauling on . Posted in Central Ohio, Columbus, Dumpster Blog, Green Business, Junk Removal.


Working in Columbus’s junk removal industry, you come across some interesting things. Sometimes, when a home or business is clearing out unwanted items from a building, some truly undiscardable artifacts are discovered.

Architectural and decor items that are unwanted, yet highly sought after. Hard-to-find, yet evidently ubiquitous. Local business, Columbus Architectural Salvage can tell you all about it!

Columbus Vintage Home Items


In Columbus, beautiful antique and vintage home decor items can be rare, yet all around us. A homeowner switches out their old furniture or cabinets. A remodeling company removes old fixtures or architectural features.

Historic, coveted, small and large household items are freeing up all the time, esoterically scattered all throughout the community.

If all these nearly-discarded items are also so very much sought after, wouldn’t it be great if someone would just wrangle it all into one place for people to buy?

Columbus Architectural Salvage


The proprietor of Columbus Architectural Salvage, Chris Sauer knows this very well. Having worked as a self-employed carpenter, Sauer also served six years as the assistant historic preservation officer for the city of Columbus.

Sounds like he knows what he’s doing!

At Columbus Architectural Salvage you can find 10,000 square feet of unique, reclaimed house items ranging from the 1840s to the mid-20th century.

Upcycled Home Antiques and Artifacts


All nicely organized, the home decor items at Columbus Architectural Salvage are diverted from landfills and ready for reuse in decorating, renovation, and construction.

The store’s sources are also mainly from within Ohio, making Columbus Architectural Salvage a great treasure trove for authentic Ohio heritage.

Is Your Thrift Store “Donation” Just Unusable Junk?

Written by Frog Hauling on . Posted in Dumpster Blog, Junk Removal, Waste Management.

Donating to a worthy cause not only feels good but is also doubly… nay, triply rewarding if you’re simultaneously clearing out the clutter in your life in a sustainable way! Unfortunately, the methods of some clean-out culprits are a little questionable as thrift stores such as Goodwill and Salvation Army continuously see the ongoing dumping of junk at their drop-off locations. While it would be a task to discern whether each case is simply ill-informed, neglectful, or downright nihilistic, perhaps some potential donors of detritus could benefit from a few checkpoints regarding their thrift store donation. Is your thrift store “donation” just unusable junk?

thrift store donation unusable junk

Thrift Stores Don’t Benefit From Donations of Garbage

It helps to remember that thrift stores are not dumping sites or repair centers. Especially if dropping the donation off after hours or without anyone around to ask for information. Chances are if the item doesn’t work, then neither will the donation. Remember: thrift stores are trying to use the money made from gently used items for helping the needy.

If they pay to have the unusable junk removed, that money could have gone toward a family’s social services, help with utilities, food, clothing or disaster response. Be good at doing good – Be sure your thrift store donation drop off isn’t simply dumping garbage!

garbage thrift store donations

What To Donate To Thrift Stores

New or gently used items such as:

  • Clothing
  • Furniture
  • Housewares and Small Appliances
  • Electronics, VCR’s, Stereos, Flat-panel HDTVs
  • Tools
  • Records, Tapes and CDs
  • Books, Records, Videos, DVDs and Blu-rays
  • Toys, Games, and Puzzles
  • Collectibles and antiques

What Not To Donate To Thrift Stores

While some items are junk, many thrift stores don’t accept certain items for other reasons such as safety or sanitation. Think twice about donating any of these:

  • Broken televisions
  • Old tires
  • Mattresses/box springs
  • Hazardous waste/materials
  • Used children’s car seats
  • Construction remains (i.e. carpet scraps, boards with nails, etc.)
  • Products recalled by the CPSC
  • Liquids

The ultimate rule of thumb is to donate what you would give to a friend. If you wouldn’t give the item to a friend, then don’t donate it to the thrift store. If an item is ripped, torn, or broken, think before you drop it off – Especially if you have a lot of it! Hire a professional dumpster service – shameless plug: Give Frog Hauling a call!

Brief History:

The Columbus Oktoberfest was originated in Schiller Park, later moved to the Ohio Expo Center and set up multiple sites throughout the German Village for several years. In 2009, the German Village Society voted to cancel Oktoberfest due to the lack of profitability and inclement weather conditions.

The Schmidt family graciously stepped in on behalf of Oktoberfest and with the help of the Ohio Expo Center and the Cox family they were able to produce an outstanding Oktoberfest which exceeded the expectations of the villagers and exceeded the attendance more than ever before to 35,000 throughout the three-day event!oktoberfest in Columbus Ohio
