Kyle Martin - Chardon City Councilman

Local government works best when passionate residents step up to serve. Back in 2022, I got my own start on Chardon City Council when I was appointed to fill a vacancy, and it has been an absolute privilege to give back to our community ever since.

The City of Chardon is currently looking for our next council member, and it could be you! Check out the City's post below to see how you can apply.

While I'm sad to see Councilman Lelko leave his role, I'm excited for the upcoming interviews to see who will join us next in the council chambers. Good luck!

Due to the resignation of a current City Council member, effective May 26, 2026 there will be a vacant position on the Chardon City Council. In accordance with the City...

We are switching to Dumpster Bandit this summer. ​What you need to know:

​New Provider: Dumpster Bandit starts in June. Same day and schedule as our current provider.

​Action Required: Your Waste Management info won't transfer so you'll have to create an account with Dumpster Bandit. Bins will be delivered towards the end of May. Waste Management should retrieve their bins AT NO EXTRA COST when their contract expires.

​Easy Setup: Registering your new account with Dumpster Bandit is simple and takes just a few minutes.

​Follow the link shared in the City's post to begin that process. Thank you!

Hey folks, I wanted to share an update regarding the new library project. There will be a special session of the Planning Commission this Thursday, April 2nd, at 6:30 PM.

- ​Location: Council Chambers, Chardon Municipal Center
- ​Topic: The new Geauga County Public Library building.

​Important Note: This is a project of the Geauga County Public Library (GCPL), not the City of Chardon. The Planning Commission’s specific role in this session is to review the GCPL's Final Development Plan to ensure that the developer’s plan adhere to our current city zoning ordinances.

​I encourage anyone interested in this project to attend this session.

EDIT: I should have been clearer in my ask. The City DOES send out requests for bids and we have received multiple bids for the next contract to be voted on by council at the February 12th, 2026 Council Meeting. My intended question was if you are satisfied or not with the current waste provider. Sorry for the confusion!

ORIGINAL: City of Chardon Residents: thoughts on the city contracting with another trash and recycling company other than the current provider? Thank you.

Stay warm and stay safe with the peace of mind that the City of Chardon will take care of the roadways.

In the wake of increasingly common news about salt shortages, the City of Chardon feels it is important that we share our current status. The City of Chardon has enough salt for the upcoming storm, and we remain confident there is enough to get through the winter.

The Service Department will be enhancing our sustainable salting practices to ensure we have enough for the long run. Snow removal crews will prioritize hills, intersections, and state routes first to ensure safe travel for emergency vehicles, public transportation, and commuters.

The City of Chardon appreciates the positive feedback that we have received through this difficult winter. We pride ourselves on the services we provide to the city. Please continue to take safety measures seriously as the temperatures continue to drop. Thank you for being a thoughtful and supportive part of our community.❄
