Ravenna council delayed a vote on raising prices for recycling services

- Owen MacMillan

Ravenna City Council postponed a vote to raise the price of recycling pickup service on Tuesday night, with some members concerned the public has not been adequately consulted on the changes.

The Portage County Solid Waste Removal District, which serves Ravenna and several other municipalities in Portage County, increased the fee for recycling pickup to $5.50 a month, and Ravenna’s city council must agree to this increase if residents are to continue receiving service.
