Register For Senior Trash Pickup Days
Local township and village road crews will again work with the Geauga County Department on Aging employees and volunteers to remove unwanted items from seniors’ garages, outbuildings and driveways during locally scheduled pickups.
Items should be placed outside the night before the pickup. Do not leave items curb side.
Seniors ages 60 and older who wish to participate in the trash day pickup program need to register with the department on aging. Seniors who complete their yearly registration prior to the cleanup dates only need to make a phone call one week before the trash pickup start date to be placed on the community pickup roster.
April trash pickup days are:
Munson Township: April 17-21. Sign up by April 10.
Hambden Township: April 26-28. Sign up by April 19.
South Russell Village: April 26 and 27. Sign up by April 19.
For specific allowable community guidelines or to register for the pickup, call 440-279-2130.

During each class, seniors 60 years of age and older will get support, find practical ways to deal with pain, fatigue and sugar control, discover better nutrition and exercise choices, understand new treatment choices and learn better ways to communicate with doctors and family about one’s health.
