Ravenna approved a $3 per month increase for curbside recycling service

- Wendy DiAlesandro

Ravenna City Council approved a rate increase for curbside recycling collection on Monday night, satisfying a request from Portage County’s struggling recycling center to standardize the county’s rates at $5.50 per residence per month.

Ravenna residents will also continue to pay a $3 per month yard waste collection fee, which was added to their $2.50 bill for recycling pickup. The updated contract extends only to Dec. 31 and includes recycling collection twice a month.
