Working With Schools:
Working With Schools Recommendations
Goals:
Communication/Collaboration/Saving Tax Dollars
Initiate a variety of opportunities where relationships between school administrators and the Township can evolve. The dialogue may result in a collaboration of activities, shared resources, or the consolidation of supplies, service agreements, and initiatives
Community in the Classroom
Create volunteer projects and classroom experiences for students within our public districts and parochial schools.
Garbage:
Garbage Collection (Aggregation) Recommendations
Residents currently contract on their own for garbage collection service
Ohio Law allows for the Township to select and contract with a sole source garbage collection and dumping facility to provide this service to residents (at their own cost) thereby eliminating residents right to choose their own service
The Township should join a local consortium of 10 other local governments to contract residential garbage collection and other related services such as recycling through sole source garbage collection company in attempt to provide residents with a lower cost

About Rumpke ...
More News from James Wright ... In case you didn't get to the bottom of the last post ...
Rumpke has resumed a yard waste pick up service, free of charge to Springfield Township residents. Therefore, the Township Service Department will no longer be picking up leaves in the fall as one of the many services offered to residents. Elimination of this service by the Township will save more than 800 man-hours now spent by Service Department employees
