Feb. 25, 2008 - Columbus Ohio 43085

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:

Columbus Ohio

OR

Worthington Ohio

OR

Sharon Township

OR

Village of  Riverlea

OR 

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...

Links to other Central Ohio Public 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.

There are no "sirs" here. 

Why not use Google maps?  Or even this ZIP code map will work .  I have no idea what your limitations re: viewing the web are, you wrote " I only ahve a web tv type computer"

The community you are inquiring about is a south east Columbus suburb (I am on the north side).  It is not two separate words, it is Whitehall. 

Good luck.

I am in an old neighborhood and trash is picked up in the alley.  The city code states trash cans are to be put out no sooner than the day before pickup and returned to the property address within 24 hours.  It never happens.  They sit in the alley all the time.   Many people put out bulk but never call bulk.  I would like to see the rules and phone numbers published  in the neighborhood papers and the Dispatch.  The city is now considering charging homeowners for trash pickup.  We can't afford to pay more and more taxes, levies and then pay extra for services.

Thanks for the comment I think the bulk pick up not being called happens all over town.  A number of years ago  I was selling a house (had the buyer) and called for the bulk pick up on the house next door after my buyers got tired of seeing an old  range sitting on the curb of the house next door for weeks.   The person I talked to said it had never been called in previously. 

I'd rather have the bulk pick up sitting in the alley than out on the street personally but there are no alleys in the newer neighborhoods. 

It would be good if the neighborhood papers published trash pick up info.
