Recycling Schedule

Butler Townshp Brochure 4-24-12

Next to the UDF store lies Township fire station #88.  Two modifications will be occurring here.  The entire drive apron facing Little York Road has been removed.  A large mud pit remains temporarily.  Drainage was poor under the old slab, and the drive apron was badly deteriorated.  A new concrete apron will be poured after regrading adjustments are made to direct storm runoff away from drive surfaces.  And later this year interior and exterior remodeling activities are planned for station #88, including an addition.  Out of sight, but to the rear of station #88, drainage is being rerouted to a newly constructed, shared detention pond to be utilized also by UDF.

Elsewhere in the township, Red Lobster (Miller Lane at Benchwood Road) is just wrapping up a facelift employing new siding and sign colors.

Max and Erma’s is planning a similar Miller Lane facelift involving new siding and signage colors.  This work should begin in June.

El Toro may have led the way for spring remodeling when extensive alterations, inside and out, were made to the old El Pablo’s.  

Not to be outdone by Miller Lane restaurants, Sam’s Club is also planning on some new colors and signage upgrades this summer.  

Elsewhere in the township, serious consideration is being given to a new office building on a Dixie Drive lot immediately behind (west) of Sam’s Club and north of Fifth Third Bank.  Survey stakes are evident at this site.

The chamber board has decided to move this event, normally held inside during April in Vandalia, to the outdoors in Butler Township.

For both departments, it doubles the staffing on one fire engine to a nationally accepted norm as opposed to the crew of two, these collaborated forces will be able to provide a four person firefighting crew.  This allows fire crews to more rapidly deploy and immediately begin mitigating the emergency.    

 Butler Township will benefit by moving the crew from Station 89, closer to the majority of the township’s service demand.  73% of the departments call volume is south of National Road.  The township crew will be five to six minutes closer to the southeast portion of the township which accounts for a higher concentration of the service demand for fire and EMS services.  This staffing will also allow Butler Township to provide additional resources to those on need in the northern portion of the township.

The township will also sell the property at the corner of N. Dixie and Reinwood and the site for Station 87 on Little York Road at Guilford.

It’s best to make your zoning inquires BEFORE you begin your project.  Please contact the Butler Township Zoning Department at 898-6735 for more information.

Planning a garage sale?  Garage sales held over one or two days do not require a permit.  While not strictly allowed by zoning laws, garage and yard sale signs are forgiven for short term sales provided such sign are not attached to traffic control devices such as stop signs or speed limit signs and  removed immediately after the event.

Brush disposal is held at the Service Department, 3710 West Natioanl Road, for Butler Township residents only.  No commercial disposal will be permitted.

Butler Township asks you to remember the following brush drop-off requirements:

• This program is for brush only.  No construction material, old firewood, yard waste, landscaping or lawn service debris will be accepted.
• Don’t chop brush and limbs too small, this makes them more difficult to handle.
• Brush must be free of nails, wire, rootballs and other similar items.
• Valid ID showing current residence in Butler Township must be presented to participate in drop-off program.
