It is the Townships policy that all trash should be in a closed container, in the event you only put out trash bags, note that the resident is responsible for cleaning up any debris from torn bags.
It is recommended setting recyclables and garbage on different sides of the driveway. As before yard waste must be clearly marked. Place yard waste a few feet away from your trash, for easier identification. Brush and carpet must be tightly tied in bundles of 4 feet or less and no more than 2 feet in diameter, weigh less than 50 pounds.
Plastic grocery bags are NOT recyclable, please return them to the grocery store. Window glass and glass dishes are NOT recyclable either. Any items restricted from the landfill will NOT be picked up (lead acid batteries and tires, liquid paints, oil, large auto parts, large construction materials and any household hazardous waste)
White goods (refrigerators, etc) may only be picked up AFTER CFC refrigerant has been removed. Refer to the service guide for specifics, including possible fees and weight limits. Miscellaneous materials (more than one man size or over 50 pounds) such as appliances, furniture, hot water tanks, etc shall be collected. Please call ahead of collection day to notify the providers of such items.
Complaints on trash service should be directed to Madison Township at 614-836-5308 or via the Township website contact administrator. These details will be available on the Township web site also.
Residents should be aware that by law in Franklin County all residential properties are REQUIRED to have trash service. Within Madison Township, all residents must use the trash hauler contracted by their municipality. Owners of the property are responsible for payment of the service, should their tenants default on service. Please update your lease agreements accordingly or make arrangements to include the cost in your rental payment. Commercial businesses may select their own hauler, but are expected to keep all trash picked up in front and around their businesses, dumpsters may not be overflowing.
