The Commissioners are again partnering with Goodwill Columbus and the Columbus Clippers to help keep e-Waste out of our landfill by collecting used electronics. An e-Waste collection will take place on Saturday, April 26th from 9 a.m. - Noon at Huntington Park, 330 Huntington Park Lane.
Accepted items include: computers, monitors, cell phones, electronics and small household appliances.
April is National County Government month. The Commissioners will be highlighting the many ways that county government works for Franklin County residents throughout the month. The theme of this year’s National County Government Month is Ready and Resilient Counties: Prepare. Respond. Thrive.
Every spring and fall, millions of birds migrate through Columbus on their way to or from their breeding grounds. Many birds migrate at night, and lights on tall buildings can lead to collisions with buildings or windows. Lights Out programs provide an opportunity to reduce the number of collision-related kills by reducing lighting.

Franklin County provides water and sewer services to about 40,000 residents in unincorporated parts of the county, and offers a discount program for low income customers.
The program provides a discount of 20% on water, sewer, or both, and in order to qualify, customers must either already participate in a government assistance program, or have income below the federal poverty level.
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.
