Commissioners have rolled-out a partnership to add the recycling of organic materials in the courthouse cafeteria. Commissioners hope that when combined with an already robust commingled recycling program, this initiative to recycle food scraps and compostable containers will help the cafeteria achieve Zero Waste, which refers to 90-percent or more diversion of generated materials from the landfill.
The Franklin County Board of Commissioners have released a free Mobile App for iPhone and Android devices that gives residents enhanced access to county government agencies from their smart phones.
The app features an adoptable dog search, county agency directory, commissioners’ news and job postings, and business service information, including open bid opportunities and surplus auction items.
The app is now available free to iPhone users via the Apple iTunes Store, and to Android users via the Google Play Store.
