In collaboration with the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District and Republic Services, I am proud to introduce the Green Refuse and Recycling Initiative, which will automate our City’s refuse collection and recycling at no additional cost to our residents.

Automated recycling increases participa-tion, saving tax dollars by reducing disposal

costs while conserving natural resources. As an added bonus, sorting of recyclables will no longer be necessary!

I want to thank Diane Bickett, Executive Director of the Solid Waste Management District, for all her assistance in the bid specification process and for the grant funding provided for this informational mailer.

Change isn’t always easy but automation will provide efficient and cost-effective services while providing long-term economic and environmental benefits to our community.

Overview

Automated Curbside Refuse Collection: Trash containers will be delivered during the first two weeks of April. The 95 gallon, or 65 gallon wheeled cart for seniors, will be delivered to each residential address. Residents should begin using their cart as soon as it is received and set it out for their next collection day.

Recycling: A green 65 gallon recycling container will also be delivered. All residential dwellings that receive Republic Services Municipal Solid Waste Collection services will be able to place all their recyclables in the container provided. Republic Services Refuse and Recycling Regulations are enclosed for your information. Property owners, please make sure tenants are aware of these upcoming changes, and the rules and regulations, as you are responsible for their compliance. Some FAQ’s are listed on the reverse side of this notice and may answer many of your questions. Contact Republic Services Customer Service Department at 1-800-433-1309. Office hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday or view the city website at parmaheightsoh.gov for further information.

2012 SPECIAL WASTE DROP-OFF EVENTSAll events held at the Parma Heights Service Ga-rage at 6184 Pearl Road from 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. unless indicated. Proof of Residency Required.

How to set out Carts: Place the carts near the driveway apron, 3 feet from the curb with the arrows facing the street and 3 feet apart to allow the mechanical arm of the automated truck to pick them up.

When to set out Carts: Set the blue cart out on the opposite side of drive from the green cart or at least 3’ apart after 4:00 p.m. the night before the regular collection day or by 7:00 a.m. on the collection day.

What to put in the green cart: Cardboard, newspapers, junk mail, magazines, cereal boxes, glass bottles and jars, aluminum and steel cans and numbers 1 and 2 plastics. Place all items LOOSE in the cart. There is no need to bag the materials placed in the green recycling cart.

What not to put in green cart: Window glass, light bulbs, drinking glasses, mirrors or ceramics and plastic containers that are contaminated i.e., motor oil, antifreeze, pesticide and herbicide containers and those with food or yard waste of any kind. Place the items listed above in trash container or in can marked yard waste or in brown paper bags.

What to put in the blue cart: All household gar-bage and trash that will fit in the cart with the lid closed. Household garbage must be bagged.

What not to put in blue cart: Hazardous waste, paint, chemicals, motor oil, liquids, dead animals, hot ashes, large car parts, tires or car batteries. Small amounts of debris like plaster, dirt and drywall are acceptable.

What do I do with my yard waste? Separate brown bag yard waste collection will take place from April 15th thru Novem-ber 30th on your regular pickup day. Residents may also place yard waste loose in their own 32 gallon cans marked yard waste.

GRASS CLIPPINGS AND OTHER YARD WASTE should be placed in brown paper yard waste bags not to exceed 40 lbs. (Yard waste may also be placed in blue trash cart after bagging in a plastic bag). Small branches must be cut and bundled not to exceed 3 feet in length or 40 lbs and should be placed next to yard waste bags.

What if I have more trash than will fit in the Cart? Most households’ garbage and trash will fit easily in the cart pro-vided as long as you are taking full advantage of the green recycle cart.

When will bulk trash be picked up? Bulk trash can be placed on the curb for collection 3’ away from the refuse cart the week of the third Monday of the month.

What if my cart is damaged or stolen? Contact Republic Services at 1-800-433-1309 for replacement details.

What if the garbage truck damages the container? Republic Services will repair or replace it free of charge.

Who owns the cart? Republic Services maintains ownership of the carts and should the home owner move the carts should be left at the house.

What about parked cars? The automated truck arm has a reach of 6 feet. The arm requires 3’ clearance around the cart for the lifting mechanism to work properly. Cars parked too close or directly in front of the container will inhibit collection.

What if it snows? As long as carts are placed within 3’ of the curb emptying the carts should not be a problem or set the cart out the following week once the weather improves.

Who is responsible when tenants do something wrong? Property owners are responsible for making sure their tenants are aware of and comply with the Rules and Regulations.

How do I know when to set my refuse cart, trash, and recyclables out during a holiday week? Recycling and Rubbish material will be picked up on the same day each week EXCEPT when a holiday falls on or before your regular pick up day. Then your recycling and rubbish materials will be collected one day late.

Holidays that affect collections are: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

Is there anything that Republic does not collect from the curb? Tires, motor oil, liquids, paint, contractor debris, or loose materials (not packaged or contained properly.) Contact Republic Services for disposal information or visit Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District website at www.cuyahogaswd.org.
