Dear Residents: The Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District is pleased to publish its first-ever Residential Recycling Report for Cuyahoga County. This annual report illustrates the recycling performance of the county's 59 communities. Its purpose is to help you better understand how your community compares with other communities in recycling and how your community contributes towards meeting Ohio's 25% recycling requirement. The District hopes that publishing this report will increase awareness of community recycling programs, encourage more participation, and challenge communities to improve their recycling services. Recycling is as important today as it has ever been. Recycling conserves precious natural resources and energy and creates manufacturing jobs. Waste destined for landfills does not go away. We must all be mindful of the effect our disposal habits have on our environment Thank you for your recycling efforts. Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District
