Recycling
Olmsted Township actively encourages its residents to recycle.
Allied Republic Services provides curbside recycling for Olmsted Township as part of its weekly refuse collection. This includes the pickup of aluminum, steel/bi-metal cans, plastic, glass and newspaper items. (See the Allied Republic Services link below for details.) Did you know that in 2009, Olmsted Township recycled over 429 tons of materials through curbside recycling alone?
Additional drop-off recycling for computers, hazardous household waste, scrap tires and phone books is available to residents at various times throughout the year. (See the 2010 Recycling Schedule link below for details.) Olmsted Township works in conjunction with the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District to offer these additional recycling opportunities. What a great option for the many materials we no longer need or use!
The Department of Public Service hopes to see ever-increasing levels of local involvement in the Olmsted Township recycling program in the years ahead. We welcome any suggestions that would improve these efforts and make recycling a success for everyone!
If you have any recycling questions or need further information, please call the Service Department at 440-235-1011.
