The City of Westerville hosts Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collections at the City's Public Service Complex (350 Park Meadow Rd.) twice a year (spring and fall). The City requests that participants enter the complex via Park Meadow Road from Schrock Road. Questions regarding these events should be directed to the Department of Public Service, 901-6740 or publicservice@westerville.org.

Please Note: Shredding services are NOT planned for these events.
