Frank Road Recycling Solutions is a recycling center just south of Columbus that locals drop by when they want to keep stuff out of the landfill. Neighbors, small DIYers and people doing household cleanouts use it for bulk loads and routine recycling. The site focuses on diverting common materials from trash and runs programs aimed at reuse and proper disposal.
Drive up to a small entrance booth and be prepared to slow down - many centers have a scale to weigh loads so expect to stop briefly. There are big roll-off bins and separate containers for paper, cardboard, metal, glass and many plastics, with an electronics or special items area often off to one side. The lot is large and a little industrial: concrete pads, drive lanes, and a few signs showing where to pull up for different materials. Weekends, especially during spring cleanup, tend to be busier and require more patience while waiting to unload.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort materials at home into piles (paper/cardboard, metal, plastics, glass, electronics) so unloading goes faster once at the site.
- Bring tarps or boxes for small loose items - things like shredded paper or tiny hardware can blow around in an open lot.
- Use the right-sized vehicle for the load; larger trailers and trucks make fewer trips but need extra space to maneuver around the bins and turnout lanes.
