Starting in July, 2022, City crews will be placing new recycling decals on residents' trash receptacles on their regular rubbish pickup days. Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District granted the City $5,830 to replace and update current recycling decals. These new decals have a handy QR code that is linked to CuyahogaRecycles.org. On the website residents can search specific items to determine if they are recyclable or not.
