Curbside recycling in Pickerington is single-stream and provided to all single-family homes through the city contract. Participation is voluntary but encouraged; Ohio has no mandatory residential recycling law.
Accepted materials include paper, cardboard, metal cans, glass bottles, and plastics 1-2 and 5. Plastic bags, Styrofoam, and food-soiled items are prohibited. SWACO (Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio) sets the regional acceptance list. Contamination rates above 25 percent can lead to loads being rejected as trash.
No local fines for non-participation. Persistently contaminated carts may be tagged and left uncollected until the resident sorts the material.
