The City of Lakewood, Ohio's Refuse and Recycling Center, located at 12920 Berea Road, offers services such as once-per-week curbside collection for household refuse, bulk items, recyclables, and yard waste for properties with one through four household units. The facility is open on weekdays from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM and on Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM, with limited acceptance of construction debris meeting specific regulations. The center enforces rules and regulations for proper refuse placement to ensure collection efficiency and neighbor property protection. Residents are encouraged to participate in the city's Green Refuse and Recycling Initiative, which mandates recycling and automated refuse collection to save costs and conserve resources. Multi-unit properties with five or more units are responsible for refuse collection but can drop off recycling at the facility. The center also provides guidelines for disposing of items like hypodermic needles, sharps, unwanted medicine, and paint, emphasizing proper containment and disposal methods. Additionally, the facility offers a food scrap drop-off program and promotes community-supported composting. Visitors are advised on holiday collection schedules, set-out hours, and the importance of following recycling guidelines to aid city workers and reduce contamination.
