STORM CLEANUP Trumbull County

Trumbull County began debris removal Monday for areas affected by last week's severe weather. The Trumbull County Emergency Management Agency urged all residents to photograph the damage, then remove all wet and damaged items from their homes and place the debris by the curb.
General: Refrigerators and freezers must have doors removed and all food contents removed. No hazardous chemicals or tires will be removed. The Geauga-Trumbull Solid Waste Management District will have a hazardous-chemical cleanup Sept. 13 at the Geauga County Engineers Office or Sept. 27 at the Trumbull County Fairgrounds. Call (330) 392-7925 to report home damage. Call (330) 392-7926 to report damage to a business. If you need assistance removing items from your home or are interested in volunteering for cleanup, call (330) 392-7927.
Howland: The Howland Township Public Works Department and Ohio Department of Transportation will be removing debris, starting today. The debris should be placed at the curb. Information about property cleanup for water and sewage backup is available at the township administration building. The next scheduled mosquito spraying is Aug. 12 and Aug. 13. If you see pools of standing water, report them to the Trumbull County Health Department at (330) 675-2489.
McDonald: A special trash pickup for water-damaged goods will be Wednesday. Place the trash at the curb tonight. The regularly scheduled pickups remain the same.
Weathersfield: Township trustees have an agreement with Wolford Refuse to pick up damaged articles from homes with a large amount of debris. Residents who have just a small amount of debris can set it out at the curb for their regular trash pickup. Those who had heavy flooding must contact the township administration building to be put on the list for a special pickup on Monday or Tuesday of next week. The trustees will cover the cost, but the township is hoping to be able to recoup the money through the Federal Emergency Management Administration.
Austintown: Township trustees are urging residents who've experienced flooding inside their homes to let township officials know so complete reports of storm damage can be made.
