News from the Lucas
Co. Recorder's Office
Anita Lopez, Lucas Co. Recorder, came to a recent trustee meeting to educate our residents on a couple of items. Ms. Lopez shared with those in attendance that her office has military records going all the way back to the Civil War of those who filed a copy of their discharge papers with the county. All residents who are veterans should file a copy of their DD-214 discharge papers with the Recorder's Office so that when the veteran dies, the appropriate government response will be received by the surviving family. As an example, Ms. Lopes mentioned the American flag that is given to the family, among other things. Those who cannot find their DD-214 papers may obtain copies from National Military Personnel Records Center (http://usgovinfo.about.com/bldd214.htm) - although there is typically a 30-day response time. If a copy has been filed with the Lucas Co. Recorder's Office, you may request a certified copy through your township trustees at no cost.

In addition, Ms. Lopez now has all deeds, releases, and mortgages from 1985 to the present available online. If you need a copy of one of these documents, a fee is charged per page at the Recorder's office. However, if the request is funneled through your township trustees, the copies will be provided at no cost.

Request forms for each of these types of documents - military discharge and deed request - are available here in ".pdf" format. Once you download and print the appropriate form, please fill it out completely and give it to your township trustee.

The township provides garbage pick up for residents on the second Monday of each month through the services of Allied Management.

Recycling Options
Let's all work together to keep our township beautiful and safe
 

Most people are aware of the need to recycle old newspapers and pop cans. But there are also recycling and disposal options for computers, cell phones, paint, pool chemicals, tires, aluminum can pull-tabs, hearing aids, sporting equipment, eyeglasses, and more! For detailed information, click on Keep Toledo/Lucas County Beautiful to visit their website.

Also - we now have special postage-paid envelopes at the Township Hall for recycling old cell phones and ink jet cartridges. Anyone can use these envelopes. You just put your cartridge or cell phone in the envelope and drop it in the mail. The envelopes are free, so please stop by to get one (or two!).

Recycling is strongly encouraged, and bins for resident use are located near the airport on Airport Highway, just East of  State Rte. 295.   The  bins are not easily seen from Airport Highway, so look carefully for the paved access road on the South side of the highway, about half-way between the entrance to Toledo Express Airport and State Rte. 295 (in the cleared area immediately East of the woods).



A Reminder to Residents
There are several local businesses that pick up scrap metal at no cost to the homeowner. If you are in need of this type of service in order to be in compliance with the Swanton Township Zoning Resolution, please contact one of these services to schedule a pick-up at your property. For your convenience, three businesses are listed below - you may also check in the Yellow Pages under "Scrap Metal".
