Congratulations to Colerain Township for being Awarded the Team Up to Green Up Community Sustainability Award!
Colerain Township is committed to being a model government by implementing eco-friendly practices across its operations and encouraging community involvement in sustainability efforts. Led by the vision of becoming regional pacesetters in every department, the township administration and employees actively recycle, reduce waste, and reuse materials such as paper, batteries, and even Christmas trees.

Additionally, obtaining the 513 Green Certification reflects their dedication to environmental stewardship, prompting ongoing improvements such as upgrading to LED lighting and considering geothermal options for new firehouses to reduce long-term energy costs and CO2 emissions. Through innovative approaches like battery drop-off facilities and transitioning to battery-powered tools, Colerain Township showcases a holistic commitment to sustainability, emphasizing the importance of individual and collective actions in preserving the planet for future generations.
