DAYTON — The 7 Circle of Kindness Community Recycling Drive is returning to the Miami Valley, offering residents a unique opportunity to responsibly dispose of hard-to-recycle household items that might otherwise end up in a landfill, all in one convenient location.
Now in its fourth year, the event continues to expand its community impact through partnerships with local organizations dedicated to environmental sustainability, reuse, and responsible recycling practices that go beyond traditional curbside recycling services available in the Dayton region.
The 7 Circle of Kindness Community Recycling Drive is a collaboration between WHIO-TV, Goodwill Easterseals Miami Valley, Montgomery County Environmental Services, Washington-Centerville Public Library Creativity Commons, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, Waste-free Dayton, and Rumpke.
Last year’s event welcomed over 750 cars and collected 4,480 pounds (2.2 tons) of Styrofoam, 179 pounds of expired medication, and hundreds of pounds of clothing, furniture, electronics, and other reusable or recyclable items, preventing significant waste from becoming pollutants in local landfills and waterways.
Community members can drop off accepted items free of charge at the Cox Media Group Ohio Media Center parking lot on Saturday, June 27th, 2026, from 8 AM to 2 PM.
PLEASE CHECK BACK SOON FOR THE FULL LIST OF ITEMS ACCEPTED THIS YEAR.
