Brush pick up is provided as a free service to our residents who are cleaning up the yard around their homes. Brush is picked up on the first Monday of the month.

Please follow these rules:

• Brush cannot be larger than 4” in diameter or longer than 4’ long and must be in manageable bundles.
• No yard waste. (Grass clippings, sod, leaves etc.). No plastic bags.
• Do not blow grass clippings into street. This washes into the catch basins and causes them to clog.
• No thorns, briars, or poison ivy in bundles.
• We will not pick up trimmings done by a private contractor. They are required to haul away their own debris.
• Do not place brush in the street. Please place on the grass between the street and sidewalk. The debris could clog our storm sewers if it is placed in the street.
• No trash. (Building materials, fence post, shingles etc.).
• No stumps or bushes with root balls
• No Wheelbarrows or containers with debris.
• Any piles not adhering to the rules will be rejected and will not be reconsidered for pick up.
• Per Ordinance 16-06 Prohibiting disposal of leaves and other waste matter into storm sewers within the Village: Residents will be warned for disposing grass clippings into the gutters while mowing and any other violations will be documented and can be charged with a minor misdemeanor for each day of non-compliance.

The Mechanicsburg Street/Utility Committee will hold a meeting at 4pm on Tuesday, March 9th at the Municipal Building to discuss emergency street repairs. ​

The Ohio Development Services Agency is now distributing $100 million in federal funding to help low-income Ohioans who do not own their own home: pay their rent, water, sewer, wastewater, electric, gas, oil and/or trash removal bills.
 
The state of Ohio, working with local Community Action Agencies, will help eligible Ohioans on rent, mortgage, and water and/or sewer utility bills catch up on past payments back to March 13, 2020, and provide additional assistance through December 31, 2021.
 
Eligible Ohio households must:  

• Be at or below 80% of their county’s Area Median Income (varies by county and size of household);
• Have experienced a financial hardship due to COVID-19; and
• Demonstrate a risk of experiencing homelessness or housing instability.  

The funding, which was approved by the Ohio Controlling Board for distribution, will be divided among Ohio’s 47 Community Action Agencies. Ohioans can apply for assistance by contacting their local Community Action Agency.
