To help reduce tick activity, the Olmsted Township Dog Park and Nature Trail will be treated for ticks on Monday, June 29th.

While no treatment can completely eliminate every tick, we expect this application to make a noticeable difference and improve the experience for visitors and their furry friends.

As always, we encourage everyone to continue taking common-sense precautions when enjoying the outdoors, including:
• Checking yourself and your pets for ticks after your visit
• Staying on maintained trails when possible
• Using veterinarian-recommended tick prevention for pets

Thank you for helping us keep our parks safe, enjoyable, and accessible for everyone!

The Township has been in communication with Republic Services regarding recent delays in trash and recycling collection service experienced by some residents.

According to Republic Services, higher-than-anticipated collection volumes and unexpected fleet maintenance issues have impacted service reliability. While Republic Services has continued to meet its contractual obligations, they acknowledge that recent service levels have not met the expectations of residents or the Township.

To address these concerns, Republic Services has partnered with an external fleet services provider to deploy replacement collection vehicles immediately. This will allow their maintenance team to complete necessary repairs to their primary fleet while minimizing disruptions to daily collection routes. Republic Services has advised that these actions are intended to improve collection reliability and reduce the likelihood of future service delays.

The Township will continue to monitor the situation and work with Republic Services to ensure residents receive the level of service they expect.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
