Some Oldies But Goodies!
National DEA Drug Take-Back Days


Five households were randomly chosen each month to see if they were participating in the City's curbside recycling program. If they were, they would win $100 worth of valuable gift cards. In 2003 and 2004, over 100 lucky residents won and $10,000 worth of gift cards were distributed.
Household Hazardous Material (HHW) Collection Drives
Sponsored by the Hamilton County Recycling and Solid Waste Management District and hosted by the City of Forest Park, this event was held every two or three years at the Winton Woods High School.

Mercury Thermometer Exchange Program
Another program sponsored by the Hamilton County Recycling and Solid Waste Management District and hosted by the City of Forest Park. Hamilton County residents were encouraged to bring their mercury "fever" thermometers to designated sites where they could exchange them, at no cost, for digital thermometers. The collected mercury was either reprocessed for industrial use or properly disposed of through environmental companies.
