Title
Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District
Description
The Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District includes all incorporated and unincorporated territory in Cuyahoga County and a very small portion of neighboring Geauga County. The District is governed by the Board of County Commissioners of the Solid Waste District (District). A staff of five is responsible for implementing the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste Management Plan.
The District was formed in 1988 following the passage of the Ohio Solid Waste Disposal Act, commonly referred to as Sub. Amend. H.B. 592. This law established, for the first time in Ohio, a system to plan for the proper disposal of the 14 million tons of solid waste generated in our state each year while reducing our reliance on landfills through increased waste reduction and recycling activities.
Prior to 1988, there was no system in place to track the amount of residential, commercial, and industrial waste produced in Ohio or to plan for adequate recycling and disposal of this waste. H.B. 592 changed that by requiring the formation of local solid waste districts to plan for the waste management needs of their region. Fifty-two districts were formed among Ohio's 88 counties.
