Trash service-

Franklin County residents are required to have trash services.
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 tenant(s) 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 hauler but are expected to keep all trash picked up in front and around their business and dumpsters may not be overflowing.

current contract hauler:

The active contract began on January 1, 2021, and ends on December 31, 2025, with Local Waste Services.
614-409-9375

The cost will be $19.99 per month, billed quarterly.
The contract does allow for a fuel surcharge.

Unincorporated Madison Township residents have trash pick-up each Thursday.
Trash must be out at the curb/road by 6 am. Your pick-up day will only change if it is a major holiday week.

Those residents that wish to rent a mobile 96-gallon toter, will be invoiced an additional $3.00 per month. Call Local Waste Services at 614 409-9375 for a toter or specific questions or to set up an account. 

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 to set 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.
