Curbside Recycling Ends April 6 – Drop-off Continues
The Green Team and Republic Services have announced a temporary suspension of curbside recycling in Mahoning County beginning April 6, 2020. The decision was made in order to safeguard employees from potential COVID-19 exposure.
Drop-off recycling sites will remain open. The Mahoning County Commissioners have reached a deal with Republic Services to escalate service at drop-off locations.
Green Team Drop-off Recycling Sites in Boardman are located near the Southern Blvd. entrance to Boardman Park and behind the Government Building at 8299 Market Street.
Despite an increase in service, there is still finite capacity at Drop-off Recycling Sites. Please keep them clean, and do not leave items outside the containers. If the bins are filled, please come back at a later time. It is our intention to provide a safe work environment for our staff and partners.
When visiting Drop-off Sites, be mindful of social distancing mandates. For more information, visit www.greenteam.cc.

Interactive CPR Classes Planned for Boardman Residents
Effective February 1, 2020 the Boardman Fire Department, working in conjunction with the American Heart Association, will begin providing interactive CPR classes to anyone in our community, at no cost to the township.

Each class requires advanced registration and payment. Upon completion of the course, a two-year certification will be issued as proof of completion of the class. Classes will be held in the training room of the Main Fire Station at 7440 Market Street and will begin promptly at 6 pm.
Specific dates are listed below for each of the following programs:
| Class | Class length | Schedule | Fee |
| Heartsaver CPR/AED | 4 hrs | Feb 6, Mar 5, Apr 9, May 7, Jun 11 | $50.00 |

Fire Department Receives Class 3 Rating
Boardman Township Fire Chief Mark Pitzer is proud to announce his department has received notification from ISO (Insurance Services Organization) that their review of Boardman Township has resulted in a change of classification for the township. We have now moved from a Class 4 to a Class 3 — the highest classification in history.
In making this classification, ISO evaluates a community’s water supply, fire hydrants, communication systems, number of personnel, training hours and facilities. Their analysis of the township and fire department records began in August.
In the fall of 2016, Boardman Township Trustees created a 2021 plan for Boardman Township. This plan included specific goals and objectives for each of the six departments. One of these goals within the Boardman Fire Department was for Chief Pitzer to “research options to improve ISO rating for the community.”
Today, Chief Pitzer is excited to say this goal has been met. He notes that moving the township from a Class 4 to a Class 3 was not an easy task. Each of the departments are reminded by the trustees to be fiscally responsible and do more with less, while providing effective and efficient services to ensure the safety of the community.
While this rating greatly improves the cost savings for our residents and business owners, Chief Pitzer says there are still areas for improvement.
At this time, Chief Pitzer recommends that home or business owners who feel the lower score may have an impact on their policies should contact their insurance companies.
On behalf of The Boardman Township Trustees, Jason Loree, Township Administrator states, “We would like to recognize the efforts of our dedicated fire department personnel, without whom we could not continue to provide opportunities for our residents and business owners that differentiates Boardman Township from other communities.”
