Fire Hydrants vs. Snow: During times
of heavy snowfall, the Fire Department
reminds residents of the importance of
clearing snow away from fire hydrants.
Please remind snowplow contractors
not to pile snow on or near the hydrants.
Power Outages: Please call CEI, not
City Hall: 888-544-4877.
Snow Clearing: When snow, ice, or
slush accumulate, residents must clear
sidewalks by 9 am of the following day.
Please provide a safe path for children
walking to bus stops or to school, as
well as for neighbors and postal carriers.
If using a snow thrower, please use
care when redistributing the snow. City
law states that “no [resident] removing
snow from any driveway or sidewalk…
shall deposit the same on the pavement
or sidwalk of any public street or on
any tree lawn in any public street, except
the tree lawn immediately in front
of the premises from which the snow is
removed.”
Snow Policy: Residents are asked not
to park their cars in the street when
snow reaches a depth of two inches or
more. Please remember that residents
are responsible for clearing snow and
ice from the sidewalks fronting their
property. The City does not plow residential
driveways; snow removal contractors
must be registered with the
Police Department and their permit
clearly displayed. Do not push snow
into the street, onto sidewalks or onto
another person’s property.
Trash Delays: Collections scheduled
on Christmas and New Year’s Day will
be one day late (Tuesday through Friday
delayed). Call the Public Works
Department, 216-491-1490, to report
a missed pickup. Calls must be received
the next business day. To receive
an email reminder when pickup is delayed
a day, sign up for the City’s email
list at shakeronline.com.
Wood-burning Stoves and Fireplaces:
These should be cleaned and inspected
regularly. Burn wood only and
do not use accelerants to light a fire.
Yard Waste: October 15 to December
15 is Leaf Collection season. City
crews are equipped to pick up leaves,
grass clippings, hedge trimmings, and
garden waste from tree lawns (never in
the street); brush collection is suspended
temporarily during leaf collection.
When crews are busy with snow removal,
brush collection is maintained
as weather permits only. Landscapers
should be advised to remove any brush
collected during this time period.
