SWACO operates two bulk drop-off facilities in Franklin County: the Franklin County Sanitary Landfill (3851 London Groveport Road, Grove City) and the Jackson Pike Transfer Station. Residents pay tipping fees by weight. Haulers typically include 1-2 bulk items per week in curbside service; larger items require special pickup or direct haul.
SWACO tipping fees for 2024 are approximately 40-52 dollars per ton for municipal solid waste. Residents with proof of Franklin County residency receive reduced rates. SWACO hosts free residential drop-off events monthly, including scrap tire and appliance collection (first-come, first-served). Appliances with refrigerants (fridges, freezers, AC units) require certified refrigerant removal and a 15-20 dollar recovery fee. Mattresses and furniture can be placed at curb on regular pickup day in most cities for a small extra fee. Yard waste is banned from landfill under Ohio EPA rule OAC 3745-27-05 and must go to SWACOs yard waste processing facility.
