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.
Best Ways to Recycle in Columbus OH
Know the rules, what items can be recycled and how to handle them Stay updated on changes to these rules Prepare and clean materials correctly Reduce and reuse in addition to recycling Do not place items in plastic bags unless by specific instruction by area guidelines Remove non-recyclable parts of items such as lids, wrappers, and other packaging Know your area’s drop off locations for materials that are not handled, such as hazardous waste, E-waste, appliances, etc. (more on this, below)

Finding new ideas and businesses in the way of sustainability is always a pleasure. Of course, you get even more bonus points when it’s cool, fun, and local! Here are three awesome examples of creative upcycling in Columbus businesses.
Glean
Creative, conscious, sustainable and funky are all words that have beed used to describe the space at Short North’s Glean, which prides themselves as the first shop in Columbus, Ohio to sell handcrafted local goods from repurposed materials. Glean celebrates the way people upcycle, providing alternatives for eco-conscious shoppers.
While some items are displayed on their website, it’s their facebook page that really shines for current items, where you’ll find upcycled brass, wood, and leather made into cool art, gifts, home goods, jewelry items, and more such as:
Messenger bags made from motorcycle seats Stylized coasters made from 200-year-old reclaimed barn wood Old soup cans transformed into Andy Warhol commemorative candles Plus really cool lanterns made from refinished world globes! This year, Glean will be focusing on products that help their customers live more sustainable lives with affordable products with the help of a local seamstress specialized in reusable products made from recycled materials. How awesome is that for Columbus upcycling?
Golden Hobby Shop
The Golden Hobby Shop is non-profit consignment shop for handcrafted items, unique gifts, decor, and accessories. But what really makes it a point of interest is its history with the community and local seniors.
Founded by the Columbus Recreation and Parks Department in 1971 as an outlet for Columbus senior citizens, The Golden Hobby Shop still thrives to this day under this model – A feat we can thank its dedicated volunteers for!
Know any crafty 50+ seniors in Franklin or nearby counties who’d like to become a consignor? Anyone in that demographic can do so AND add to the awesome Columbus upcycling world by a simple phone call – check it out on their webpage.
Candles With A Cause
One more noteworthy Columbus upcycling business is Candles With A Cause who turn post-consumer glass bottles into small-batch, handcrafted candles.
Each of their candles is made from an upcycled bottle, longer-burning soy wax, and natural fiber packaging, but what people seem drawn to the most is the aromatherapy of the esential oils with unique fragrances such as grapefruit cedarwood, magnolia teakwood, and driftwood fig.
Columbus needs a plogging group. Rally everyone together on social media for a nice jog – I’ll bring the garbage bags!
What Is Plogging?
To explain, the word plogging is a portmanteau of the Swedish words "jogga" (jog) and "plocka" (pick up). Plogga! Combining fitness and litter removal, plogging is basically picking up litter outdoors while taking part in your choice of exercise.
Biking, hiking, pushing a stroller, canoeing, jogging… whatever the outdoor activity may be, plogging is equal parts exercise and community service. Across the world, plogging events are helping clean up literal tons of trash, keeping communities, trails, and walkways clean and beautiful.
Clean Up While Working Out
With 100 plogging events in just 6 months, the movement started in Sweden with a runner named Erik Ahlström who came up with the idea as a simple solution to address the unhealthy behavior of littering in society.
Now spreading across Europe, plogging is starting to officially pop up around the United States.
Get The Word Out About Plogging
Can we just take a moment to acknowledge that I’m blogging about plogging? Let’s engage people and get the plogging movement going in Columbus and write and document about it everywhere we can and get some events together!
Plogging founder Erik Ahlström recommends social media and plenty of photos.
Hashtag #plogga!
Want to start a plogging group? We’d love to share that information along!
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 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!
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.)
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!
Whether you have a Freshman moving off to the dorm for the first time or a senior moving into his/her apartment or house, trash will accumulate. Boxes and plastic wrapping will be in enormous piles by the time you’re done unloading furniture and house goods you’ll just want to sit down for an hour and not think about all the trips to the dumpster you’ll have to make. Fortunately for you, we have all thetips and ideas you’ll need to survive move-in day.
Manage the Mess: Categorize and Organize
All kinds of junk will accumulate when you move in. From cardboard and paper to plastics, it helps to sort garbage and recycling into designated piles to save time later, when it comes to taking things to the trash. For plastic wrapping, bags and other non-recyclable material, make sure to bring large black trash bags to save a little space and make hauling it all a little bit easier.
Knowing what kind of trash is recyclable is important and odds are, a lot of it will be.
Recyclable Moving Materials
Cardboard boxes are the obvious recyclable junk. Break the boxes down to make them easier to carry and to fit within the city’s recycling department guidelines. Keeping the largest box set up will help to store all the other recyclable products inside of it.
Separate reusable household goods like coat hangers, old cleaning utensils, and house goods are kept away from the trash pile because often times they can be recycled or even donated. Check with local donation centers such as Goodwill or Salvation Armyas well as local recycling programs to learn more.
What to Do With it All The Junk
Now that it’s all packed and ready to move, what are you going to do with it?
Dorm Recycling
Most colleges will have recycling bins (most of the time they are mixed recycling) with which you can toss all those cardboard boxes into. Many colleges will also have move in crews to help you with your stuff and will be able to help direct and move trash.
Recycling Away From Campus
If a dumpster isn’t nearby, you don’t want piles of trash sitting out and accumulating until trash day. This is when you’re going to need some extra help. Most cities will have junk hauling services or companies that can help you remove junk and recycling from your apartment or house. Most of all, it’s important to plan and know that more trash can accumulate than you think on the move in day.
Having a Centralized Dumpster Can Be a _H_uge Help
Having a huge group move? Need to get rid of your junk quickly and efficiently?
Whether you have a Freshman moving off to the dorm for the first time or a senior moving into his/her apartment or house, trash will accumulate. Boxes and plastic wrapping will be in enormous piles by the time you’re done unloading furniture and house goods you’ll just want to sit down for an hour and not think about all the trips to the dumpster you’ll have to make.
