A History Speaks presentation.
From the moment the first residents settled in Upper Arlington, the community has faced the ongoing challenge of managing waste.
This engaging presentation traces the evolution of garbage collection in our city — from rudimentary disposal methods to the development of organized sanitation systems — uncovering the innovations, turning points, and community efforts that have contributed to a cleaner, healthier environment.
Join us to explore how the past has laid the groundwork for today’s waste practices.
