Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District Round-Up Schedule for 2003: Computer Round-Up: April 23 – May 7 Phone Book Recycling Campaign: June 1 – July 31 Scrap Tire Round-Up: no dates at this time Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Round-Up: October 16 – November 6 This round up includes oil-based paint, pesticides, hazardous chemicals, etc. All dates are subject to change. The Solid Waste District provides round-ups as a means of disposing of items that are restricted from our facilities, such as HHW and tires. The purpose of the other round-ups is to recycle materials that otherwise would be placed in landfills. For example, items donated to the Computer Round-Up are both refurbished and placed in schools or broken down so that the metals and plastics can be recycled. Up until last year the City could not collect phone books, therefore the Phone Book Recycling Campaign was the only time residents could get rid of them. Now residents can drop their phone books off in the paper recycling bin near the Service Department or hold on to them until the County round-up. Numerous other materials are restricted from our facilities that are not rounded up by the County. The Solid Waste District has compiled a list of companies who will take such items. In addition, if residents wish to get rid of items before a round-up is available, the following list may help.
