Easy access off of I-71. Pull into the lot and the staff will bring a cart to your vehicle. I was in and out in two minutes.

It's really great that Franklin county has this service. Usually it's free for residents... I take them lots of old fluorescent bulbs ... Nice to see them recycled!

Be Aware. We were cleaning out my deceased father’s house (in Franklin county). My brother in law took whole pick up full to drop off BUT since he had Madison county plates they wanted to charge $150. When told it came from Franklin county home they said they go by the plates on the car that is dropping off the waste. WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO KNOW BEFORE WE MADE THE TRIP
