Whether an item can be recycled depends on many things,
including how much demand there is for the materials from which
they’re made and how economically the items can be re-purposed into
something else. In South Euclid, weekly curbside recycling also
depends on other factors like transportation and warehousing costs.
The good news is, our basic recycling categories of Metal, Plastic,
Glass, Newspaper, and Paper Mix, cover a
lot of ground. In addition, some of the things we do not
currently recycle
curbside (printer cartridges, old computers, paint and
pesticides, scrap tires),
are recyclable; you just have to take them somewhere. Click
here to see some of your other recycling options.
