Columbus has a new date for its yearly household hazardous waste and electronics drop-off. It is now 8 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 24, at the Columbus Recycling and Sustainability Center, 8001 Pine Grove Way.

The collection was set for Oct. 10 but was canceled because of the weather. The city announced the new date in a release dated Oct. 15. The Department of Public Works and the Keep Columbus Beautiful Commission run it as a drive-thru.

The city holds one collection day a year.
