Rubbish Disposal / Snow Removal / Gutter Cleaning

The City of Macedonia offers free rubbish disposal and snow removal programs, as well as a one-time gutter cleaning service, to residents age 65 and older who meet low-income requirements.

The City uses the current Summit County HUD figures in the low-income bracket to determine eligibility for the program. The City also extends this program to low-income residents under age 65 who are disabled. A current physician’s note of verification is required.

These programs are renewed annually. You must re-apply every year to determine eligibility, and proof of income must be submitted.

Sidewalk Replacement

In areas of the City where homeowners have been notified that their sidewalks need to be replaced, the City is offering assistance to residents age 65 and older who meet low-income requirements.

Assistance is being offered on a first-come-first-served basis until the allotted funds have been exhausted.
