Recycling in Akron, Ohio

Akron runs weekly curbside trash and recycling for one, two, and three family homes through the City of Akron's Public Works Bureau, using city issued carts that must stay 3 feet apart at the curb. Glass is not allowed in the curbside cart: the city instead runs a network of glass drop off bins around town. For anything hazardous or electronic, residents lean on Summit County ReWorks, the county's solid waste district based in Stow. Ohio has no bottle deposit law, so cans, bottles, and jugs all flow through the regular recycling and drop off system instead of a redemption program.

Frequently Asked Questions

What goes in the Akron curbside recycling cart?

The City of Akron's cart accepts metal food and beverage cans, paper, cardboard, and plastic bottles and jugs, all loose and never bagged. Plastic tubs are also accepted, but lids should come off bottles and jugs first since loose lids are too small for sorting equipment. Everything should be clean and empty: greasy pizza boxes or food residue can contaminate the load.

Can I put glass in my recycling cart in Akron?

No. Akron asks residents to keep glass out of the curbside cart entirely and instead drop it at one of the city's designated glass recycling bins, located at spots like Akron's Dog Park, Goodyear Heights Metro Park, and Goodpark Golf Course. Only glass food jars and beverage bottles (beer, wine, spirits, non-alcoholic drinks) are accepted at these bins: windows, mirrors, light bulbs, Pyrex, drinking glasses, and ceramics are not.

Where do I take household hazardous waste or electronics in Akron?

Summit County ReWorks runs the area's household hazardous waste program from its facility at 1201 Graham Road in Stow, near the Route 8 overpass, accepting items like paint, automotive fluids, pesticides, batteries, and aerosol cans. Electronics and Freon-containing appliances aren't taken at HHW collections: ReWorks instead points residents to periodic electronics collection events and private vendors such as Best Buy, Goodwill, and local e-waste recyclers.

Does Akron pick up bulky items like furniture or old appliances?

Yes. Akron offers a Special Bulk Volume Pick Up for large items and big cleanout hauls, limited to 3 pickups per household per year, and residents must call 3-1-1 at least one business day ahead to schedule it. Smaller bulky items such as furniture, mattresses, doors, and bundled branches can simply be set out on the regular collection day, 3 feet from the city cart, without prescheduling.

Is there a bottle deposit in Ohio, and what about scrap metal?

Ohio does not have a bottle deposit law, so cans, bottles, and jugs go through curbside recycling or the glass drop off bins rather than a redemption center. Scrap metal items like hangers, pipes, and lawn mower blades don't belong in the recycling cart either: ReWorks and the city both direct residents to take those to a scrap metal yard instead.

Akron Recycling Tips

  • •Keep recycling loose in the cart, never bagged: bagged recyclables often get treated as trash by the sorting facility.
  • •Take glass jars and bottles to a City of Akron glass drop off bin (like the one at Akron's Dog Park) instead of the curbside cart.
  • •Remove and trash the caps and lids from plastic bottles, jugs, and glass containers before recycling or dropping them off; loose lids are too small for the equipment to sort.
  • •Schedule Special Bulk Volume Pick Up with 3-1-1 at least one business day before your collection day if you have a large cleanout; you get 3 free bulk pickups per year.
  • •For paint, pesticides, batteries, or automotive fluids, head to Summit County ReWorks at 1201 Graham Road in Stow rather than putting them in the trash cart; latex paint is handled differently than oil based paint, so check ReWorks' guidance first.
