Based on the listings above, materials commonly handled in Cleveland include scrap metal, Cleveland, Aluminum, copper, Cardboard. Browse the guides below for preparation tips, scrap values, and what's recyclable.
Cleveland stopped curbside recycling around 2020 after reporting revealed the city had been sending residential recyclables to a landfill, largely because too much of what went in the blue carts was contaminated trash. The city relaunched curbside recycling in 2022 with a new hauler and an expanded materials list, and it now runs as an opt-in program: households must sign up to get a blue recycling cart and collection. By 2024, nearly 80,000 Cleveland households had enrolled. The city's Division of Waste Collection and Disposal handles trash, recycling, and bulk pickup, while the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District manages household hazardous waste, electronics, and special drop-off events.
Yes, but it is opt-in. Cleveland suspended curbside recycling around 2020 and relaunched it in 2022 with a new vendor. Residents in single-family homes and buildings of up to four units serviced by the city must enroll to receive a blue recycling cart and weekly collection. You can sign up through the city's online recycling enrollment form or by calling 311 (216-664-2000).
The relaunched program accepts paper, cardboard, glass, metal cans, and plastic bottles. Place everything loose and unbagged, and empty and rinse containers first. It does NOT accept plastic bags, scrap metal, pots and pans, buckets, car parts, garden hoses, food scraps, yard waste, polystyrene foam, light bulbs, drinking glasses, ceramics, or bulky items.
The city lists two residential recycling drop-off sites, both open Monday through Friday from 9 am to 3 pm: an East Side location at 5600 Carnegie Avenue and a West Side location at 3727 Ridge Road.
Household hazardous waste (paint, chemicals, flammable or caustic products) is handled free for county households through the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District, which partners with local city service departments for collection. Computers and electronics cannot go in your curbside cart; recycle them through your city service department, an e-waste company, or a retailer. Use the district's cuyahogarecycles.org site to find local options.
No. Ohio does not have a bottle-deposit (bottle bill) law, so there is no refund for returning cans or bottles. Only about 10 US states have container deposit laws, and Ohio is not one of them. For payout, scrap metal like aluminum cans and appliances can be sold to local scrap yards, but scrap metal does not belong in the curbside recycling cart.
