Currently within the Village, are two historic cemeteries for village residents. The North Cemetery is located on Chagrin River Road near Sherman Road and dates from 1810 and was part of a family farm. Originally it contained 1.25 acres until 1969 when it was expanded to 2.93 acres.

The South Cemetery is on Chagrin River road just south of Old Mill Road and once served as a private cemetery for the Dean family. Originally it contained two acres and was increased to three acres in 1957.

The snow and ice removal service on Village roadways is dictated by weather conditions with the main roads given first priority for plowing and salting to insure emergency accessibility and traffic flow. Secondary residential streets are plowed as soon as possible thereafter.

Snow removal and salting for Mayfield Road within the Village of Gates Mills is the responsibility of the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT).

The Village currently uses a combination of salt and # 8 slag on the roadways to prevent ice forming and to improve traction.

Currently Rumpke  is the waste hauler for the removal of typical household waste and recyclables within the Village.

Commingled recyclable materials including aluminum or steel cans, glass or # 1 and # 2 plastic, and paper and cardboard shouild be placed loosely in the recycling tote and placed next to the garbage. 

Questions regarding scheduling, missed pick-ups, recycling, or special pick-ups should be directed to Rumpke at 1-800-828-8171.
