§ 505.31.
(A) Except as otherwise provided in division (B) of this section, the township fiscal
officer shall collect the service charges for waste collection, transfer, recycling,
and disposal services and administer them under rules established by the board of
township trustees. All of those service charges shall be kept in a separate fund designated as the
waste collection fund and shall be appropriated and administered by the board. The fund shall be used for payment of the costs of the management, maintenance,
and operation of the garbage and refuse collection, transfer, recycling, and disposal
system in the township or several waste disposal districts. The board also may use the fund for payment of the costs incurred by the township
in relation to the collection and disposal of tree leaves. Service charges for waste disposal service collected from one district cannot be used
for any other district. If a district is abandoned or discontinued, any balance remaining in the fund for
that district shall be paid into the general fund of the township. (B) When a board of township trustees contracts with an independent contractor for the
collection, transfer, recycling, and disposal of solid wastes under section 505.27 of the Revised Code , the contract may provide for the independent contractor to collect and keep the
service charges for the services the contractor provides.
