Apr. 15, 2008 - Trash in the streets of Columbus II
Do the trash bins sit in the street on trash day in your Columbus neighborhood? Or up on the driveway or curb?
Trash in the streets of Columbus
Columbus Ohio has a color coded trash pick up schedule with big green trash bins that are on the curb in most neighborhoods on trash pick up day. A big truck comes by and a robotic arm picks up the trash.
I visited a friend one day to drop something off. It was trash day in the NAVY area of Columbus... her home is in the NAVY area... I forget sometimes she lives in the City of Columbus because she is in Delaware County, her house is in the Olentangy School District and she has a Lewis Center mailing address. I know she lives in Columbus on trash day, because of the garbage cans in their neighborhood.
Trash in her 'hood sits on the edge of her driveway NOT in the street.
I can't tell you what day of the week it was. Just that it was trash day in the NAVY area.... she has a neighbor we don't like... (doesn't that sound childish?) I can't tell you the neighbors name... or really why we don't like her. It's a real estate thing... it is old and long forgotten... My friend walked me out to my car and warned me not to back into the trash can on the end of their driveway... that was sweet of her... or maybe she was thinking of her trash receptacle... either way I was careful to not hit her trash as I backed out...
Her neighbor we don't like (sorry to sound so childish) was backing out of her driveway at the same time. She backed right into her own trash can... pitch of her driveway, height of her bumper... the big green trash can wedged under the wheels of her vehicle...
tee hee

Trash... not litter, but trash in streets of Columbus. The trash in the streets of this north outer belt Columbus neighborhood is in nice green trash receptacles with wheels.
What is the custom in your Columbus neighborhood? Do the trash receptacles sit on the apron of the driveway? Or out in the street?
I was in a Worthington area neighborhood (Worthington ZIP code thus Worthington mailing address, it's in the Worthington School District but it is in the City of Columbus and the NAVY trash pick up area...) last Friday morning .... it was windy... and all the trash receptacles were in the street... the first block I thought they had blown into the street, because just a mile or so away in the neighborhoods I drive through often the trash sits up on the driveway on trash day. But then every trash receptacle in the neighborhood was in the street.
This neighborhood is north of 270, south of Polaris, west of Worthington Galena Road and east of 23.
I knew of a neighborhood just northeast of there where the residents on street all put their trash out in the middle of the cul-de-sac for trash day... but it is a tight little cul-de-sac with residences with one car garages. I always thought they had their trash receptacles in the street for the convenience of the big truck.
The neighborhood with trash in the street that I was in on Friday has all two car garages... there are one or two homes with a three car garages...
I can't help wondering if the trash in the street wouldn't that make it an obstacle course for the mailman on trash day?

A great map tool that shows the area covered by the 43085 ZIP codes is on ZIP Code MAP.
You will have to feed in the 43085 ZIP code to the 'Key Zip' box at the top to see the map of 43085 and the surrounding Central Ohio ZIP codes. I don't see a way of linking to a ZIP code map from the site or embedding a ZIP code map for 43085. The mapping website say of ZIP codes:
"The USPS considers zip codes to be delivery routes instead of areas. There may be differences between this depiction and actual zip code mailing address."
"Zone Improvement Plan" is what ZIP code means. A ZIP code is not an area, it is a route... a mail route.
ZIP Code 43085
If your home or work ZIP code is 43085... you live or work in:
At one point I thought some of Perry Township was in the 43085 ZIP code... Properties just a smidge northwest of this property are in Sharon Township.
Perry Township ? residences in the Worthington School District may be in 43235 ZIP code only now since ZIP codes change, properties are annexed.
Does it matter what ZIP code a house is in? Not that much in Central Ohio... your residence can be in the city of Columbus, in the Worthington School District and have a Westerville mailing address easily.
Does it matter what municipality you live in? Very much so for services, trash, police, fire, etc.
Almost all.... but not all of the 43085 ZIP code is also in the Worthington School District... Not all of the Worthington School District is in the 43085 ZIP code.
Worthington Forest Condominiums on the south east end of the 43085 ZIP code is in the Columbus School District. Theoretically there could be more residences along the edge of the 43085 ZIP code that are in other school districts...
The Franklin County Auditors site gives what school district and municipality each residence in Central Ohio is located in. Better to check that than make assumptions based on a mailing address or ZIP code.
And can ZIP codes change? You betcha!
