Cuyahoga County Recycling Directory For Business And Industry
Introduction
Each year, more than 3.5 million tons of solid waste is produced by Cuyahoga County
businesses and industries. Disposal of this waste costs these companies over a
hundred million dollars each year! This is money that doesn't have to be "trashed".
Any company can save money by reducing waste and recycling. Not only does it
make good business sense, it makes sense for our environment by conserving natural
resources.
The Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District would like to help you implement a waste
reduction program. This directory can help. It lists recyclers of 28 waste materials
commonly produced by businesses and industries. You will notice that many things
can be recycled, even things you may not have thought of like computers, books and
toner cartridges. This directory also provides tips on waste reduction; and, sources for
recycling equipment, multi-material recycling services, and waste exchange.
How To Use This Directory
Recyclable materials are listed alphabetically. For a quick reference, see the table of
contents. Once you have identified recyclers for the materials you produce, contact
each to find out the services they provide, their recycling and pick-up requirements,
and fees, if any.
Need More Help?
The Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District offers free and confidential waste audits
resulting in recommended waste reduction strategies tailored to your company. We
also publish two other guides to help you reduce waste including A Guide To Office
Paper Recycling and Pass It On: A Resource-Full Guide to Donating Usable Stuff. To
request a waste audit or publication, please contact the Solid Waste District.
