We're teaming up with a national non-profit, Leveling the Playing Field, Inc. to increase reuse!

Through the SWACO Community Waste Reduction Grant, we recently awarded $35,000 to Leveling the Playing Field Ohio to improve the collection of gently used sports equipment and ease the re-distribution of it to schools, youth programs, rec leagues, and community-based organizations serving kids in under-resourced communities in central Ohio.

Class is now in session as Joe Lombardi and Hanna Greer-Brown sit down with SWACO's School Programs Administrator, Danna Lotz, to learn more about how SWACO is helping bridge education and sustainability. SWACO is presenting Franklin County schools with free resources such as landfill tours with bus reimbursement, classroom recycling containers through the School Recycling Champions Program, curriculum-aligned lesson plans, and technical support for more complicated waste diversion projects. They are also rolling out a new program called the SWACO Schools Green Team to create a collaborative network where educators can exchange ideas and find support for their sustainability efforts. These resources will help Franklin County schools ring the bell for sustainability.

While we love Pokémon just as much as the next person, we agree with our friends at @McDonalds, wasting food is not okay.

Here in central Ohio, we can all do our part to fight food waste—whether it’s by eating leftovers, composting, or learning how to properly store food so it lasts longer.

Let’s make every meal a happy one—by making thoughtful choices that reduce waste.

@DrewVanRunkle Hi Drew! Glad you got our mailer! You can reuse this as a fan, paper confetti, paper chain decor or pass it along. This mailer is also recyclable. 😊

This summer, we proudly partnered with organizations across Franklin County to launch our pilot end-of-life clothing program. The program is designed not only to keep textiles out of the landfill but also to identify sustainable diversion methods.

We appreciate the support of our incredible partners and the community members who are helping spread the word and participating in the pilot.
Let’s continue working together to build a more sustainable future.
