Before Pesach, the Beachwood Service Department anticipates the need to provide special trash pickups in the week before Yom Tov. Please let your members know that they can contact the Service Department to request a special pickup on a day other than the normal trash removal day. The number is 216-292-1922. Additionally, trucks will do extra sweeps of the entire City over this week as well, even without a call. Have a Chag Kasher v’Sameach

Police are looking for two men who tried to set fire to a University Heights apartment building.
The men spilled oil on the sidewalk and an outside wall of the building on the 2200 block of Kerwin Road. They also discharged a fire extinguisher and damaged a surveillance camera in the indoor parking garage.
