Here are some local resources for expanding
your green efforts beyond curbside, and/or for those without
curbside services (although
our apartment residents CAN now participate in South Euclid's
curbside recycling!).
This list updates fairly often, so keep checking back. We do
our best to keep up with the ever-changing non-curbside options.
If you know of an option that we missed, please contact the
Committee Chairperson.
South Euclid Fire Department (Green Rd. and
Edmond)--year-round drive aids burn victims

CFL's
(Compact Fluorescent Lamps)
- Truly the lighting of the future, but tricky to get rid of the
used ones. Right now, your intact burnt-out CFL's go to your local:
Home Depot. They will process them responsibly.
FILTERS, Water, used, Brita
Local Whole Foods locales.
“FOAM” (e.g., STYROFOAM) FOOD BOTTOM TRAYS/EGG CARTONS
Heinens Supermarket (Green Rd., near Cedar) (NOTE: NO

there.) This material is picked up and compressed locally
A good option is the Cleveland Furniture Bank

in need. CFB provides FREE pickup of items such as couches, chairs,
dining/kitchen sets, dressers, and mattresses & box springs.

Besides curbside collection, Euclid Creek
Metropark, June 1st through September 30th. Look for the sign
and bin. If you just want to stop the darn Yellow-Page things from
arriving at all? Try this:
PLASTIC SHOPPING BAGS (Examples, more may be
available)
- Daves' Supermarket (Severance Center)
- Giant
Eagle (Legacy Village & Mayfield-Victory Dr. locales)
- Heinens Supermarket (Green Rd., near Cedar)
-Whole Foods Supermarkets (including Cedar
Center, South side)
- Zagarra's (Lee Rd. & Wilson Mills locales)
(WE
STRONGLY
ENCOURAGE YOU TO BRING YOUR OWN ECO-FRIENDLY BAGS WHEN SHOPPING!
(Besides taking virtually forever to bio-degrade, every plastic
bag is made from petroleum products. With the price of
EVERYTHING these days, need we say more?!)
Whether the digital transition is coming or already a done
deal, PLEASE DO NOT put your discards curbside! Cities, including
ours, are NOT equipped to pick up and recycle TV's and have no
choice but to landfill them. But our enviro-minded
residents...DO have some
local choices!
LOCAL ROUNDS-UPS ARE ALSO HELD FOR:
