We are asking that all Residents help to reduce City operating costs by taking their items for town clean to the Metz Road Baseball Field parking lot area where there will be a designated area for item drop- off on August 5th – 9th, 2024.
The drop-off site is located behind the Metz Road Baseball Field parking lot area and will be available Monday-Friday from 7:30 am until 3:00pm with an extended time on Thursday from 7:30 am – 7:00pm.
Please take Photo ID and a recent Utility bill when going to the drop-off location, this will ensure that only City residents will be participating in town clean-up.
For those residents that cannot take their items to the drop-off location, we ask that you place the items to the curb by the morning of August 5th, as crews will only be going past your residence one time. The curbside clean-up is in STRICTLY enforced zones.
If you fail to have your items to the curb by your designated day, you must take the items to the drop-off location to be disposed of BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT BE PICKED UP CURB SIDE IF YOU MISS YOUR DAY. (see zone map chart below)
The Zones can be seen in the Map below and are as follows:
There is a 3 large item limit per household. Tires will be accepted but CANNOT be on rims. (LIMIT OF 8 per household)

As temperatures are expected to reach well into the 90’s in the eastern United States, in the next few days, Columbiana electric customers are being asked to conserve power. “Community Energy Savings Days” is a response program for when demand for electricity is expected to be high.
Columbiana customers were asked to voluntarily lower electricity usage during the peak period from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM on Monday, June 17, 2024 and Tuesday, June 18, 2024 and are now being asked to extend this until Friday, June 21, 2024 from 2pm-6pm each day.
Mr. Lance Willard, City Manager for Columbiana, said, “There’s plenty of power available and our grid is in good shape, but if we can conserve during these peak hours, the City can save on transmission and capacity costs next year. Lowering the peak demand will help control electricity rates. We started the Energy Savings Days Program in 2019 and our customers have done a great job doing their part.”
Customers can take simple conservation steps such as: shutting off lights when not needed; unplugging small appliances and electric chargers (especially those with small lights); raising the air conditioner thermostat a degree or two; closing curtains, drapes and blinds; doing laundry and other household chores requiring electricity during hours other than 3:00 PM through 6:00 PM; and turning off televisions, computers, and other electronic devices when not being used.
Mr. Lance Willard has further stated, “As a municipal electric system, owned by its citizens and customers, it is contingent upon those same citizens and customers to keep the electric rates for themselves and all other customers of City of Columbiana as low as possible. Our citizens and customers have the opportunity to make a difference in their system and their rates by conserving energy during these periods. As forecasts dictate throughout the summer, we will most likely be asking our citizens and customers to participate again, as we have had as many as 10 opportunities in past summers to participate.”
RCAP crews will continue this week working on our lead service line inventory.
They will be knocking on doors requesting permission to inspect the home owners service lines for lead.
