VILLAGE FALL CLEAN-UP

Scheduled for Thursday, November 7th.  Only Republic Services customers who are billed by the Village will receive Fall Clean-Up services.  Weekly trash pick-up will remain on Thursdays.  Residents are encouraged to be respectful of Republic Services by not placing unlimited amount of trash for pick-up  on our regularly scheduled days.  They will handle some extras in addition to your 96 gallon barrel, keeping in mind Republic cannot be expected to handle larger waste items other than when the Village schedules a Spring or Fall Clean-up date.  For those residents whose trash service is provided through the Village (not through their condo association) and are wanting our trash to pick up a large bulk item, please contact Clerk-Treasurer, Joe Harold at 330-575-4039.  He will contact Republic Services to schedule that pick-up for the residents.  Finally, if you want a free 96 gallon trash barrel, residents can contact Jenn Geren at 800-247-3644.

LANDSCAPING/BEAUTIFICATION PROJECTS

The landscaping project is now complete at the West side of the Village Hall.  Not only does it dress up the Hall but is provides a beautiful four season spot for picture taking by guest while they host their events at the Hall.  A big "Thank you"goes to Mike Nolan and his landscaping crew for the hardscape design and selection of plants, trees and shrubs to tie it all together.

The work and further meetings for the 12th St./South Park Corner Beautification Project has been put on hold indefinitely due to lack of action on the part of the Stark County Commissioners on the Village's request to use County property or to have the property transferred to the Village.
