Trustees Approve 0.6 Millage To Be Placed on Fall Ballot
Greg Burns, Tate Township Trustee addressed the July meeting attendees, “Our dilemma for keeping the township deputy can only be solved by placing a levy on the ballot in November so that the voters can decide.”
The amounts are not yet certified so the numbers are not exact but 0.6 mils would generate enough to pay for the deputy’s contract and would cost the taxpayers a little over $19 each year for a $100,000 home. Once the numbers are certified and it gets closer to November, residents can go to the auditor’s website and check to see the exact cost for their address.

Use Recycling Centers For Recycle, Not Trash
Copied from http://www.clermontcountyohio.gov:
Illegal dumping (and it is illegal!) at recycling drop-offs around Clermont County continues to be an issue. It has forced the recent closing of two recycling drop-offs at Shor Park and Bethel Save-A-Lot. A few years ago, the county had 42 sites for recycling. Now it is down to 26.Many residents have curbside recycling in their neighborhoods. These additional drop-offs are offered for those who don’t have curbside recycling, or don’t want to pay the service fee often charged by companies that collect trash in Clermont County.But the abuse at these drop-off sites, where people routinely dump furniture, carpet, large plastic items, construction waste, etc., will inevitably end up in more of them closing.Rumpke, which services the recycling drop-offs, has this list of what you can and cannot recycle.
Rumpke Curbside Recycle Dates
There was a question on NextDoor as to when the curbside recycle pick up is scheduled. In Tate Township, Rumpke picked up the recycle on Friday, June 15th and it is scheduled for every 2 weeks on Fridays so the next one is Friday , June 29th, then every 2 weeks -July 13, July 27, August 10, August 24., and so on. Monroe Township pick-up is the alternate Friday.
To remind yourself: If you have a smart phone, go to your calendar app and you can add Rumpke Recycle as an all day event on 7/13/18 and then, under options, make it a recurrence every 2 weeks.
Want to add this service or ask a question? Call Rumpke at 1-800-828-8171.
