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.
