North Bend receives $5,000 recycling payment; council discusses electronics, shred and tire events
Summary
Council staff reported the village received $5,000 from Hamilton County for recycling activity, noted higher per‑ton payments this cycle, and discussed organizing electronics collection, shredding and tire recycling events modeled on neighboring communities.
The village received a $5,000 payment from Hamilton County for recycling activity covering February 2024 onward, the deputy clerk told the Village of North Bend council on May 19, and councilors discussed options to use the funds for community recycling services.
The deputy clerk said the village’s per‑ton payment increased to $24.11, which raised the total disbursement; previous payments had been lower because the village’s recycling rate had fallen into a lower percentage band. The $5,000 payment will be used for dumpsters, crew labor and fuel; officials said they will submit receipts as required by the county program.
Council members discussed hosting electronics and shredding collection days similar to a recent event in Addison and asked staff to coordinate with Hamilton County resources (AHR/contracted vendors) about dates and logistics. The deputy clerk said tire recycling and yard‑waste events are seasonal and that the village will confirm available dates for county‑coordinated pickups.
The council’s community outreach program (We Thrive) is also planning a community event that may include health screenings and fall‑prevention activities; staff said they will order t‑shirts and finalize dates. No formal council action was taken beyond accepting the grant payment and discussing potential events.
