It's Greener in Dublin
Green Fleet
The City of Dublin’s Fleet Division has again been recognized among the nation’s top performers, earning a spot on the 2025 National Association of Fleet Administrators (NAFA) Green Fleet Awards list.
This marks seven consecutive years of national recognition for Dublin as one of the Top 20 Green Fleets in North America, reflecting the City’s ongoing commitment to being the most sustainable, connected and resilient global city of choice.
The Fleet Management Division strives to establish efficient and effective delivery of City fleet services by providing customer agencies with safe, reliable, economically and environmentally sound transportation and related support services that are responsive to the needs of customer departments and that conserve vehicle value and equipment investment. If we’re not customer driven, our vehicles won’t be either.
Dublin’s Fleet Management is among the most awarded in the country. Among its accomplishments, it is an ASE Blue Seal Shop with six ASE Master Certificated Technicians.

Rain Barrels
What is a Rain Barrel?
Rain barrels connect to downspouts to collect rainwater from roofs. The collected water can be used to water gardens.
It’s Greener in Dublin because of you
From the Scioto River and Indian Run Falls to ponds and fountains, Dublin’s waters define our city. We share our water resources, and, likewise, share responsibility for protecting and conserving those water resources whenever possible. Rain barrels are a great way to protect Dublin’s waters by reducing stormwater pollution and waste.
Modern rain barrels:
- Come in a great variety of colors, styles and designs to complement your home’s look.
- Are closed containers to prevent children, pets and mosquitoes from getting in.
- Have a spigot so rainwater can be easily accessed and used to water gardens and flower beds. Come in easy, ready-to-install kits.

Rain Barrel Benefits
- Safely and efficiently reduce water use and water bills!
- Protect our river and streams and decrease storm drain floods by reducing the amount of rain that enters drains during major storms.
- Plants prefer rainwater over hose water because it is chlorine-free.
- Using less water in our yards conserves limited freshwater resources for future generations.
Code Update:
- Rain barrels made of natural materials, designed to appear similar to a wood barrel, planter, stone boulders or similar may remain as constructed and are not to match in color the attached building.
- Plastic rain barrels must be neutral in color, painted to match your house, or match as closely as possible.
$50 Rain Barrel Reimbursement
Interested in backyard conservation? The Community Backyards program offers Dublin residents a $50 reimbursement on the purchase of a rain barrel (one reimbursement per household). Together, Dublin and Franklin Soil and Water strive to promote stormwater education within Franklin County while promoting the use of rain barrels and rain gardens. This helps introduce residents to backyard conservation practices including composting, using native plants and trees in your landscape and responsible lawn care maintenance. Keeping rain where it falls and using it as a resource keeps our watersheds healthy and safe!
