Explanation

BACKGROUND:
The Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio (SWACO) has responsibility, as part of a community-wide comprehensive recycling program, for providing recycling drop-off points and dumpster for the convenience and use by the citizens of Columbus. These recycling drop-off points are often located in or near community facilities and need to be clean and visible to encourage their appropriate use by the public.This proposed code change will allow for the flexibility and visibility required for locating such recycling drop-off points and dumpsters near community facilities such as fire stations while still requiring that they meet minimum code standards for cleanliness and traffic circulation. The Columbus Development Commission reviewed this proposed code change at its monthly public meeting on September 25, 2003, and voted to recommend its adoption by City Council.

FISCAL IMPACT:
No funding is required for this legislation.
