Regarding Refuse Collection: 440-526-1384
To Schedule Pick up of appliances and scrap metal items: 440-526-1384
Curbside recycling collection is an every other week schedule and will continue to coincide with your rubbish collection day. This will provide more collections throughout the year and alleviate the occasional three week period of no recycling collection that occurred with the former schedule.
Please put your recyclable items in a separate location away from your refuse. We recommend you put your recyclable items on one side of your driveway at the curb and put your refuse on the other side. Two distinct locations for these items will avoid missed collections and ensure efficient service.
Place your recyclables and refuse at the curb line or edge of shoulder. Items not at curb side or at the edge of the roadway will not be collected.
Place your refuse and recyclables curbside by 7:30 a.m. on collection day - some days we have extra crews or reverse the routes so please have your material out early.
Recycling is collected every other week on the same day as your rubbish collection
Please call the Service Department at 440-526-1384 with questions regarding the recycling schedule.
