One way we strive to keep work sites safe and protected is by placing barricades around sites. There may be bright orange barrels surrounding or covering a site. Tripod barricades are also used, often around sidewalks being repaired.
Yellow security tape may be also strung across work sites, as a visible reminder for you to steer clear of that area.
When doing work to the street tree canopy or near the rights of way, Village employees may place barricades in street parking places. The barricades may be in place overnight, so our work crews can get to the project site first thing in the morning.
This year, as part of a campus recycling effort, Bill Kent, manager Mail Center and Recyling at Ohio Northern University implemented a program called, "When You Move Out, Don't Throw It Out."
It works like this, according to Kent: "As the ONU students prepare to move out for the summer, the campus dumpsters are usually full of items that could be used by someone.
"So, instead of filling the dumpsters, student will bring items in good condition to the ONU Distribution Center (old bowling alley)."
