2002 Residential Recycling Report
Dear Residents:
The Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District is pleased to
publish its second annual Residential Recycling Report for
Cuyahoga County. This report documents the recycling
performance of each community in Cuyahoga County to
help you better understand how your community compares
with others. We hope that publishing this report will
increase awareness of community recycling programs,
encourage more recycling participation and challenge
communities to expand recycling services.
 In 2002, Cuyahoga County residents recycled a total of
171,210 tons of cans, paper, plastic, glass, yard waste and
other materials. This was an increase of 20,980 tons from
2001. We are making steady progress to increase recycling
in Cuyahoga County thanks to our community leaders,
recycling businesses and citizens. Recycling here and across
the nation helps to conserve precious natural resources
and energy and creates manufacturing jobs. That�s good
for our environment and good for our economy.
Thank you for your recycling efforts.
