Live Christmas Trees can be taken to the Village’s Compost site at the sanitary sewer plant if they are completely bare of all decorations.  Do not leave them in bags.

If you can’t get your tree to the compost site, please call 419-258-2371 for pick up.  Again, do not place in plastic bags and be sure you have removed all decorations so they can be chipped.

Due to New Year’s Day being Wednesday, January 1, 2020, trash in the Village of Antwerp will be moved to Friday, January 3, 2020.  This is also bulky waste pick up in the Village.

The Village of Antwerp Council will hold a special council meeting on Thursday, December 26, 2019 at 7:00 p.m. in council chambers at town hall, 118 N. Main Street, Antwerp, Ohio to amend 2019 appropriations and pass the 2020 budget.  These are the only 2 items on the agenda.

Due to Christmas holiday being Wednesday, December 26, 2019; trash pick up in the  Village of Antwerp will be moved from Thursday that week to Friday, December 27, 2019.

Residents on W. Washington Street and the surrounding area, a waterline break has occurred near the bank.  Please avoid this area and you will be without water during the repair.  Crew on site.

Trash pick up for the Village of Antwerp will be on schedule for tomorrow, Thursday, November 14, 2019.

Due to Thanksgiving being on Thursday, November 28, 2019, trash will be delayed one day.  So normal pick up will be that Friday, November 29, 2019.

Due to the frigid weather, residents are encourages to drip their faucets, turn on heat tape around your pipes and open cabinet doors to expose your waterlines to keep them from freezing.  Running even small streams of water can keep not only your pipes from freezing but your water meter.

The Village of Antwerp’s personnel/finance committee will meet on Tuesday, November 5, 2019 at 8:00 a.m. in council chambers to review the Village’s Employee Personnel Manual.

As part of the waterline replacement project.  Sections of E. Canal from Erie Street east to Water Plant drive will cause water in the area to be off while connections are made.  Once water comes back on, residents are advised to run their outside spigots until the water clears as the process of shutting off water caused sediment to be stirred in the lines.  There has been no lose of pressure in the line so this does not caused a boil advisory.  The Village would ask for patience during this process as we replace cast iron lines that are over 50 years old with plastic.  This should result in less waterline breaks.
