Furniture and bulk item disposal
If your trash is collected by Grandview
Heights, furniture, bulk items, and tires (no construction debris) will be
picked up at no charge after scheduling the pickup through Marble
Cliff Village Hall, 486-6993. DO NOT DUMP ITEMS AT THE SERVICE
DEPARTMENT COMPLEX. The Grandview Heights Police Department will be
monitoring the complex, and dumpers will be fined, as per Section
331.43 of the Grandview Heights Codified Ordinance.
Hazardous Household Materials
The Grandview Service Department
does not accept paint, car batteries, tires or other hazardous waste materials.
For disposal of paint, pour sand or kitty litter inside the can. This
will stabilize the paint. It may then be put into the trash after it
has dried. If paint cans are empty, or the paint is dried up, you may
also dispose of them in the trash. Lead based paint is
considered hazardous waste, and must be disposed of properly, at a
hazardous waste collection location. The Solid Waste Authority
collected hazardous waste
on special collection days during 2007. Please call 871-5100 or visit the SWACO
website at www.swaco.org for information
about 2008.
For disposal of car batteries, take them
to a battery recycle location. (i.e.: Interstate)
Yard Waste
Grandview Heights
Service Department crews will collect yard waste for
Marble Cliff residents each
Monday, from April through the end of November. If a
holiday falls on a Monday, yard
waste will be collected on WEDNESDAY, for that
week. Holiday closings are
advertised in the local papers, the week prior to the closing.
Yard waste must be
appropriately bundled or placed in biodegradable paper bags, and shall
not be set out earlier than one
hour prior to sunset on Sunday. Bundles or bags shall be
placed next to the alley or if
no alley exists, behind the curb at the street.
Tree limbs and shrubbery must be cut and bundled with twine or string
(no wire, plastic or
nylon string.) Bundles should
be no larger than two feet in diameter, four feet long and weigh
more than 50 pounds.
Grass and plant materials must be placed in paper bags, not to exceed
30 gallon capacity (no
plastic or biodegradable
plastics are permitted.)
Sod, soil, or dirt covered roots are not accepted.
Residents may use a refuse container for yard waste, but must display
a "Yard Waste"
sticker (obtained by calling
488-4728), weigh no more than 50 pounds, and should not have
limbs sticking out more than
12" above the top of container.
For a copy of the rules and regulations, contact the Grandview Heights
Service
Department at 488-4728.
Leaves
are collected from the tree lawn curb strip during October and
November. Please do not rake them into the street as they could
clog the sewer drains. From December through March, leaves and
yard waste in biodegradable bags
may be dropped off at the Service Department between 7:30 a.m.
and 3:00 p.m. weekdays.
Special Needs
Elderly and/or physically disabled who
are unable to comply with the refuse or recycling regulations herein
should contact the Service Department at 488-4728 to make special
arrangements for solid waste pickup.
Animals dead on roadway
Grandview Heights Service Department will
pick up dead animals from Village streets and roads. Call 488-4728.
Fallen trees and limbs from trees in
the tree line
The Village will pay for removal of
trees and limbs in the “tree line” between the sidewalk and the
street. Contact Village Hall (486-6993) to arrange pickup. After business hours,
if debris is blocking the street, contact the Grandview Heights Police
Department at 488-7901.
Mosquito control
The Village does not spray for mosquito
control, as it is effective for three days at most. Spraying only
kills the adults flying at the time of the spraying and may also kill
other non-target insects, such as ladybugs, butterflies, and bees
flying at the time of the spraying. The Village participates in the
Franklin County Board of Health's Integrated Mosquito Management Plan.
Mosquitoes breed in roadside ditches,
farmers' fields, suburban backyards and anywhere water is stagnant
after a rain. Five to six days after a heavy rain, a new generation of
mosquitoes emerges. They use prevailing winds to fly up to 50 miles to
look for a meal. During the day, they rest in woods or any spot where
they will not be disturbed and then come out at dusk to feed.
Residents are encouraged to eliminate
larvae breeding areas on their property by removing local
opportunities for larvae to hatch. Residents should police their yards
for any standing water, paying particular attention to: gutters with
standing water in them, buckets of rain water, wading pools, margarine
tubs, plastic kids' toys, tarps covering something, boats, tires, and
holes in trees that collect water.
Nuisance animals
The Village no longer pays for the
trapping of wild animals at your home.
Potholes
To report potholes or other street
maintenance problems, contact Village Hall at
486-6993.
Snow removal
The City of Grandview Heights Service Dept.
plows and salts Village streets on an as needed basis. Residents are
expected to clear their public walks of ice and snow.
Street lights
Report broken or non-functioning street
lights to Village Hall, 486-6993.
Traffic signals
To report problems with traffic signals
during business hours, contact Village Hall at 486-6993. To report
problems after hours, contact the Grandview Heights Police Department
at 488-7901.
