Division of Waste Collection and Disposal

Common household products found in the kitchen, basement, bath, and garage can emit toxic vapors into homes, and can be harmful to the environment if not disposed of properly. These products can be disposed of safely during the City of Cleveland’s Household Hazardous Waste Collection.

As residents take advantage of the convenience of curbside recycling, drop-off sites have seen a decline in usage The City will continue to to accept bulk recycling at its Ridge Road Transfer Facility. Accepted items include glass, paper, plastic, metals and cardboard. In addition to the Ridge Road facility, a number of additional recycling drop-off sites will remain available.
 

Residents may drop off up to ten tires per household at 2 locations. This free service is for residents only, and tires will not be accepted from vehicles with commercial plates.

Residents can drive up and drop off documents or stay and watch the 4,500 pound per hour shredder in action at 5600 Carnegie Avenue weekdays, and some Saturdays.

The City of Cleveland and the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District have teamed up to recycle unwanted computer equipment and cell phones. All collected computer equipment will either be upgraded and distributed to schools or recycled. Equipment may be dropped off at two locations weekdays and some Saturdays.
