How to find Cleveland city services, report a problem, and contact a department?
Cleveland residents can use the city's page for permits, waste pickup, trash schedules, programs and rules, and can call 311 or 216-664-2000 for non-emergencies or 911 for emergencies.
The page says it connects you with Cleveland and that it has the information you need, from permits to waste pickup. It also offers a way to view the trash and recycling schedule. For a resident who has not done this before, that makes the page a sensible starting point for common city services.
The page notes that the city provides programming and assistance for residents of all ages. It also tells residents to keep up with the city's rules and regulations. Those parts can help you learn what is available, but the page does not list every department or service in detail.
For a non-emergency problem, the page says to contact 311 or 216-664-2000. For additional information, it points to Citizen Support Specialists at 3-1-1 or 216-664-2000. Those are the non-emergency contact routes described on the page.
If there is an emergency, the page says to contact 911, and it repeats 9-1-1 for emergencies. It does not give a separate department directory, email addresses, office hours, or a walk-in location. So the listed phone options and the page's own service information are what you have to work with.
