Guide to Curbside Recycling in Cuyahoga County
Community Recycling Key
The following describes some of the general "do's and don'ts " of preparing your household recyclables for collection. Since each community has different recycling guidelines, you should contact your community directly if you have additional questions about collection schedules and procedures.
Cans
Refers to all metal food and beverage cans including aluminum, steel, and bi-metal cans. Cans should be rinsed well before recycling.
Glass
Refers to glass bottles and jars in brown, clear, and green colors. To recycle glass containers, rinse well and remove lids, caps, and rings. Other types of glass such as drinking glasses, window panes, mirrors, and light bulbs cannot be recycled due to the physical properties of the product.
Plastics
#1 and #2 plastics refer to plastic bottles, jugs and food containers that have the numbers 1 and 2 inside a recycling symbol on the bottom of the container.
#1 - #7 plastics refer to plastic bottle, jugs and food containers that have the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,or 7 inside a recycling symbol on the bottom of the container.
Excludes plastic bags, plastic film, and polystyrene (i.e. Styrofoam) To recycle plastic bottles, simply rinse and place in your recycling bin. Plastic tops should be discarded in the trash.
Newspaper
Clean, dry newspaper (inserts included) should be stacked in paper bags or bundled with string.
Mixed Paper
Mixed paper is the combination of newspaper, magazines, cardboard, junk mail, box board, office paper, and phone books. If your community accepts mixed paper, these types of paper can be combined together in one recycling bag or container.
Cardboard
Refers to corrugated cardboard only. Boxes should be flattened. Wax-coated boxes intended for refrigerator and freezer storage such as frozen food containers and milk cartons cannot be recycled.
Special Waste
To help residents dispose of oil-based paint, pesticides, automotive fluids, and other hazardous products found in the home, the Solid Waste District has a
Household Hazardous Waste Disposal Program. Hazardous materials from households can be turned in for free; latex paint is not accepted.
Computer recycling events are also offered. Collections are held at your city service department.
Yard Waste
Includes leaves, grass clippings, brush, garden wastes, tree trunks, holiday trees and prunings from trees or shrubs.
The Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District's Guide to Curbside Recycling provides general information about community-sponsored recycling programs in Cuyahoga County. It includes listings for all 59 communities in the county. For more detailed information about your community's recycling program, please contact your city service department. Please note that the recycling services provided by each community are for residents only.
For additional recycling information, please contact the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District at (216) 443-3749.
