Recycling in Dublin: A Local Guide
Dublin, OH has 3 recycling listings in our directory, each covering a different material category: foam packaging, used phones, and ink/toner cartridges. While Dublin's curbside recycling is managed through the Franklin County system, the city also runs its own specialty drop-off programs — making it one of the more active municipalities in central Ohio for niche recycling streams. For more Franklin County options, see our Ohio recycling hub.
Dublin's most distinctive program is the city-run Styrofoam drop-off at the City Service Center, 6555 Shier Rings Road. Launched in September 2022 in partnership with the City of Hilliard, it is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at no charge. The program accepts clean foam packaging and foam coolers — but not foam peanuts, construction insulation, or food-grade polystyrene cups and containers. All foam must be free of tape, stickers, labels, and plastic or metal fasteners before drop-off. The collected foam is densified to 1/50th of its original volume and recycled into insulation boards, picture frames and park benches. The same City Service Center site also hosts Dublin's e-waste and organic waste collections.
For used smartphones and old phones, there is an ecoATM kiosk in the home vestibule of the Walmart Supercenter at 5900 Britton Parkway. The automated kiosk pays instant cash (or Venmo/PayPal) for qualifying devices — you must be 18+, bring a valid ID, and remove any activation lock before arriving. This Dublin ecoATM does not accept tablets; it handles phones and iPods only. Devices with little value are accepted for responsible recycling.
For ink and toner cartridges, Cartridge World at 323 West Bridge Street accepts empties of any brand for free recycling and also refills and repairs printers. Nearby Franklin County options include Grove City and Delaware, and Columbus has over 60 centers for virtually every material type.
