LAST ISSUE OF ENOTIFY: Sign up to volunteer for the Great Miami River Cleanup and Fall in Love with Hamilton Shop Hop 2016
Hamilton eNotify - October 14,  2016
THIS WILL BE THE LAST ISSUE OF ENOTIFY
As of Monday October 17, the City of Hamilton will no longer send out eNotify. In order to provide more meaningful, pertinent, and timely information, we are switching to a contact management system called Cerkl (pronounced "circle") that will empower subscribers to self-select the content they wish to see, on a schedule of their choosing, in a format they want. Everyone who is currently signed up for newsletters or press releases from the City will automatically be switched to Cerkl. This change is being implemented in order to meet the City's priority of providing an open, transparent, and accessible means of communication and engagement with citizens.

Great Miami River Cleanup
The Great Miami River Cleanup is about more than just picking up trash, it is a day for communities to demonstrate their desire for clean water and healthy rivers. Volunteers will be out from Franklin to the Ohio River on Saturday October 22 from 9 A.M. to noon. Volunteers must sign a waiver and are encouraged to pre-register to receive a t-shirt and scout patches. There are several locations to volunteer in Hamilton, including Rentschler Forest MetroPark and Joyce Park. Click here for a complete list of locations or click here to sign up to volunteer.
Leaf Collection Schedule 2016
Leaf collection will begin on October 31, 2016. Routes are scheduled for collection each week and crews will work ahead on upcoming routes when possible.  Preliminary leaf pickup will begin on October 17 to test the equipment prior to full operations. Prior to October 31, residents whose leaves are ready for pick up may call 785-7550 or utilize the Online 311 Citizen Request Center on the City's website to request early pick up.
