Bainbridge Township’s Clean-Up Days: May 3 & 4

15 Apr

Bainbridge Township’s clean-up days are upcoming on Friday May 3 and Saturday May 4 from 7:30am to noon at the Service Department on 17800 Haskins Road. You can dispose of various types of items by taking them to the Center on Haskins Road. Please see the attached notice for details.

If you are a senior over the age of 60 and cannot bring your items to the service department Bainbridge Township is partnering with the Geauga Department of Aging to offer free pick up of 10 items or less on April 29, 30 and May 1.  Seniors must register no later than April 22 with the Geauga Department of Aging for the free pick-up.  Details are in the attached notice.

Also, please note that Bainbridge residents can take their paper/cardboard and plastic bottles & cans at any time to the recycling center at the Service Center on Haskins Road.  They won’t take glass and other plastics but it is free and reduces what goes into the landfills.  Open 24/7 so you can stop on your way to somewhere else.
