When trash (plastic bags, bottles, cigarette butts, plastic cigar tips, etc.) is discarded onto the ground, it washes into storm drains and directly into our waterways untreated. Trash negatively impacts wildlife and migratory birds, poses hazards for fisherman and boaters, and is an eyesore along streets, parks, and waterways in our community.

 Plastic pieces, cigar tips and cigarette filters are continually at the top of the list of trash found at beach cleanups locally and worldwide (Ocean Conservancy).  More plastic cigar tips are found on Cleveland beaches than in any of the other Great Lakes Beach Cleanups (Alliance for the Great Lakes).  Cigarette filters/butts are NOT biodegradable. The acetate filters take years to decompose, and the toxic chemicals trapped in the filters can leak into aquatic ecosystems, threatening our water resources.  Plastics break down into tiny pieces called microplastics in water, then release toxic chemicals swallowed by fish, birds, snakes, and other wildlife.  It can take 600 years for plastic monofilament fishing line to decompose.

 Do Not Litter! Lake Erie is our source of drinking water, so we need to do our part to clean up pollution and to educate others not to litter.  Follow the 3R’s—Reduce, Reuse and Recycle wherever possible (Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District is the local recycling resource).  Use reusable shopping bags instead of single-use plastic bags at the store and recycle bags if the service is available at your grocery store.  Don’t overfill trash cans as litter can blow into the street on windy days.  If you see illegal dumping, alert the City’s Service or Police Department.  Organize a storm drain stenciling activity in your neighborhood to educate people that Only Rain goes Down the Storm Drain.  Volunteer at a local stream, beach or park cleanup event.

An avid gardener, Martin often found herself composting her extra plants or putting out a sign in the yard to give them to passersby. The Facebook group now has 155 members who post photos of plants they would like to share, or plants they are looking for. Gardeners also share tips and ideas on the page. Martin is excited to see so much enthusiasm for gardening in the community. “Anything that makes our community more beautiful, and brings neighbors together is a very good thing.”

While the transition has been relatively seamless, one common criticism from residents is the lack of familiarity on the part of the dispatcher, which we knew would be a drawback. For example, we recently received a call where the caller referenced Greenview as the location. Now if you’re from South Euclid you would immediately think Greenview Upper Elementary School on South Green Road. However, the dispatcher was not from South Euclid and their Are You Missing a Bike? point of reference was PEP Greenview Day Treatment Center on Southington Road in Shaker Heights. After the dispatcher asked There are currently 21 unclaimed bicycles in the SEPD some clarifying questions the situation was resolved. SEPD asks property room that we are unable to return to their rightful for your patience as the regional dispatch center and its employees owners because they do not have bike licenses. mature and grow.

Keep Your Car Theft-Free The South Euclid Police Department (SEPD) needs your help. In 2017, we had 81 reported thefts from automobiles. This continues to be a problem. Since January 1, 2018, we have had 53 reported thefts from automobiles. Most if not all of these thefts have occurred in residential driveways overnight. This is a crime that is highly preventable simply by locking your vehicle. However, there are a couple additional steps you can take to be proactive.
