Claridon Means Community
Welcome to the community of Claridon, OH. Here, we’ve provided you with information you need as a resident. If you can’t find the answers you are looking for, please don’t hesitate to contact any of your Trustees.
Claridon is made of good, caring, hardworking, faithful, generous and common sense people. We have a community full of them! Many ask, "How can I get involved in the community?" Join a Claridon Township Group! There are three community groups you can join; the Claridon Events Group, the Claridon History Group and the Claridon Cemetary Beautification and Preservation Group. You can get involved in these groups a little or alot. We highly encourage you to inquire! Call or text trustee Jonathan Tiber at 216-276-8342 or email him at JTiber@ClaridonTownship.com. Scroll down to read a little more.
You can contact a Claridon based charity, such as Claridon Community Helps, for volunteering or donating opportunities. You can also contact one of our three churches here in Claridon and ask about volunteering for or dontating to any of their community based ministries. You can link to Claridon charities and churches on our Dates & Links page.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
New Recycle Center Location Now Open. Current Location to Close August 1
The Recycle Center will be moving to Merritt road in Claridon. The new facility will be managed by the Geauga Trumbull Solid Waste District. This location is now open. Our current Mayfield road location will be closed as of August 1. The new location will accept more variety of material than what our current location is able to receive plus, it will be in a non-residential area as we've always had a challenge with debri flying into neighboring yards. This location will not only accept the standard recycling items (24/7) but, on specific days of the week, they will accept electronics, appliances (with or without freon), hazerdous material and more. Click here for more detailed information as well as operating times. Again the permanent closing of our current location will take place on August 1.
Claridon Businesses
Whether or not your business is located in Claridon, if you are a Claridon resident that owns a business, contact trustee Jonathan Tiber. He is compiling a list to promote Claridon business owners. The list will be on this website as well as hard copy lists to be handed out at Get Down with the Town. The hard copy lists will also be available at the adminstration building for folks to take. Include your name, your business name, a brief description of your business and how to contact the business. Mr. Tiber can be contacted via email at JTiber@ClaridonTownship.com or via text or phone at 216-276-8342.
Receive Information Directly From a Trustee
There are over 300 residents that signed up to receive up to 4 emails per year. These emails inform residents on the latest Claridon news and notes. Email Mr. Jonathan Tiber to be added to the list. While it's great that 300 plus residents are up to date and are staying informed, that leaves over 2,300 residents who are not! Spread the word.

Seeking a Township Logo!
Claridon has a slogan. "Land of Steady Habits". This speaks to daily disciplines.
Claridon does not have a logo. If you are interested in helping create one, contact trustee Jonathan Tiber. He is interested in having a contest to create a Township logo. He is asking for insights on ideas for the contest. Sounds like fun!

Claridon Events Group● This group will help organize Claridon events such as ‘Get Down With The Town’, Memorial Day Parade & Ceremony and others. They also can orginize holiday decorations at the corner of Mayfield road and Claridon Troy road. Currently, there are four residents who participate in this group.

This group is much needed. There are currently 5 residents who participate in this group.
Claridon History Group● Local history is so important! This group will research and provide Claridon history, help create a hard copy history space in one of our buildings and provide content on our website. Love local history? Want to learn as you go?

DID YOU KNOW?
Did you know we are not the only Claridon Township in Ohio? There is another Claridon Township in Marion County less then 90 minutes away as it is 135 miles Southeast of us. Both Claridons are roughly the same size with near equivalent population. We get many calls and emails from folks thinking we are the Claridon Township in Marion County and they get the same. We've talked with the good folks there and agreed to exchange information when we get those calls. Here is the link to the OTHER Claridon Township (Marion County, OH).
