E-Waste, Household Hazardous Waste & Paper Shredding Event Scheduled for April 18

March 16, 2026

Clear out the clutter and dispose of unwanted items safely! Join us on Saturday, April 18, 2026, from 8 a.m. to noon at the public service complex (7800 Bevelhymer Road) for our annual e-waste and hazardous waste collection event. New Albany residents are encouraged to bring old electronics, household hazardous waste, and confidential documents for secure on-site shredding (space is limited so first-come, first-served). Please see map at bottom of page.

What is allowed?

Please note: Paper shredding drives are intended to shred truly sensitive materials. Paper materials that do not contain sensitive information can be recycled with your residential recycling services (vendor dependent).
To help manage volume, we are unable to accept commercial quantities or bulk collections.
While the event remains open to the public, it is specifically designed to serve household and residential waste, with a primary focus on New Albany residents.
Learn about accepted materials, e-waste guidelines, and more by clicking here.

Where else can I take my items for proper disposal?

We encourage non-New Albany residents to seek out recycling options closer to home rather than waiting for one-time events like ours or traveling long distances.

The following is a list of regional locations that accept recyclable items throughout the year:

Columbus Micro Systems (Walk-ins accepted, see their website for hours)
5087 Westerville Road, Columbus, OH 43231 – https://columbusmicro.com/
SWACO Household Hazardous Waste Facility
645 E. 8th Avenue, Columbus – www.swaco.org/195/Household-Hazardous-Waste

Recycle Right Search Tool

How do I enter the facility?

Traffic should enter the Public Service facility from Walnut Street – not from Bevelhymer Road. Bevelhymer Road will be dedicated to pickleball complex traffic and for traffic leaving the waste drive. Signage on site will direct traffic to the appropriate lanes based on the materials they have to drop off. Please see the map below.
