Cuyahoga County communities manage solid waste by hauling it
to a landfill. Residents expect their communities to have programs for waste
reduction, recycling, and composting. This is especially challenging at a time
of low landfill tipping fees. Communities must find innovative ways to prevent
the creation of waste, conserve materials and energy, and develop markets for
reuse and recycling.

- Benchmark residential recycling services against
top performing communities in Cuyahoga County and learn best practices for
waste reduction, including automated collection using carts, seasonal yard
waste collection, and consistent education programs.
