The Carthage Civic League has an open Trustee seat on the board! This seat is up for re-election in March 2027, making it a great, low-commitment way to dip your toes into volunteering with the CCL and see what being part of the board is all about.
Interested? We’d love to have you join us! Contact us at CivicLeague@CarthageOhio.com to learn more.

Don't Dump the 'Nati!
Illegal dumping is the disposal of large amounts of waste on a site, whether public or private, that is not designated as a waste collection site. This includes tires, furniture, bags of trash, landscaping debris, construction debris, etc. Illegal dumping is distinguished from littering by the amount. Littering is typically small items, such as wrappers or food containers. Illegal dumping causes blight, lowers property values, can attract insects and vermin, and can impact the health of local residents.
The financial burden on the city is not light, as it costs over $2 million dollars each year to clean up illegal dump sites throughout the city.

CPS is back next Wednesday!
As kids head back to school, please slow down and watch carefully for children walking to and waiting at bus stops, especially in the morning and afternoon rush.
And remember: STOP for school buses with their red lights flashing and stop sign extended. Ohio law (ORC 4511.75) requires drivers to stop at least 10 feet from the front or rear of the bus and remain stopped until the bus moves or the driver signals you to proceed.
Let’s help our youngest neighbors get to and from school safely!

Keep Our Sidewalks Clear!
A friendly reminder: trash carts should not live on the curb! In Cincinnati, garbage, recycling, and yard-waste carts may be placed at the curb no earlier than 5 p.m. the day before collection and must be removed by midnight on collection day.
Keeping carts off the curb between collection days helps keep our sidewalks and pedestrian pathways clear and accessible, especially for neighbors using wheelchairs, strollers, or mobility devices.
