This event is a great opportunity for residents to conveniently and safely dispose of various, possibly dangerous, items cluttering our home, and give items a “second life” as a valuable commodity.  Last year, 50 households participated (~20%) in our second Special Collection.  We successfully gathered 11,000 pounds (~10% of total recycling).    We also enjoyed ice cream while learning more about recycling.

• 2,000 pounds of latex paint

• 1,397 pounds of hazardous waste

• 3,400 pounds of shredding

• 1.5 pallets of electronics

• 3,160 pounds of scrap metal worth $170

• Many TVs, bulbs and fire extinguishers

This year, we will also take advantage of our recycling event to gather your input for an updated Hunting Valley’s Master Plan.  The Strategic Plan written in 2023 provides the foundation for the Master Plan.

As a result of these efforts and your ongoing involvement, our recycling rate improved again to 20.6% from 19.8% (excluding organics), keeping us in the top 10% of all Cuyahoga County communities!  All that said, our neighbors still outperform us by 4%, so we know we can do even better!

Special thanks to the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District for their expertise and funding many elements of this event and our program!  We also wish to thank NOPEC for refreshments for the events.
