Ohio EPA Information Requested - Commercial Business Survey (CY 2017)

The Cuyahoga County District is required by Ohio law (Ohio Revised Code 3734.53;56) to gather information regarding solid waste management practices within Cuyahoga County which is critical for state-mandated data reporting and solid waste management planning.

The information gathered is used to profile waste management in the commercial sector and to calculate Cuyahoga County’s recycling rate for the Ohio EPA. We aggregate the data obtained from all companies and use the information for summary purposes only.
