Shredding
Due to the success of the recent document shredding events held at Danbury Township Hall the trustees have agreed to provide a year-round shredding service for residents to help prevent identify theft. Two locked bins will be available inside the Danbury Township police station located at 419 S. Bridge Road (SR 269 South). AccuShred, a high-security information destruction company based in Toledo will shred your documents and the paper will be recycled. This service will be available Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. until 3 p.m. There is no charge for residents however you must call the police station before bringing your documents to make sure an officer will be on-site when you arrive. The officer will escort you to the locked bins. The telephone number for the police station is (419) 732-2549.
Medication Drop-Off
The Township has received a grant from the Joint Solid Waste District for a secure drop box for residents to dispose of their unwanted medications year-round. The box will be located at the police station and the service will be free to residents. All you will need to do is call the Police Department (419) 732-2549 to make arrangements with the officer on duty.
Medications accepted include:
Prescription and over-the-counter medications, medication samples, narcotics (controlled substances), vitamins, and inhalers.
Residents are asked to keep medications in their original containers. Names and personal information should be crossed off or removed before dropping off. Please do not dispose of medical syringes/ needles or illicit drugs in the permanent drop-boxes.
Senior Watch
The Danbury Township Police Department will conduct daily checks of Senior residents whom live alone thru a color card system. Residents who are part of the program are asked to place a color coded card in their window to indicate whether they are okay or not. Police Chief Michael Meisler will personally meet with the resident to review what the program is, how it works and obtain necessary emergency contact information and medical history. He will also visit the home and determine the best window to place the card so officers can see while patrolling neighborhoods.
