Cuyahoga Recycles' "Wishcycler" video series
In late 2019, after receiving a grant from the Ohio EPA, the Solid Waste District hired TRG Multimedia and KC Media Partners to develop a new television and digital streaming ad campaign to address recycling contamination in Cuyahoga County.
After much brainstorming, story development and creative input, the District's "Wishcycler" video series was born. Our goal was to highlight some of the top items that are (unfortunately) placed in recycling by well-intentioned people, while providing humor from the "experts" at a fictional wishcycling center. Most importantly, the District wanted everyone to learn how to recycle right.
The new campaign launched in spring 2020. The District is grateful for the expertise of our project partners and is proud of the finished spots. We are pleased to present our six "Wishcycler" videos below. Enjoy!

Cuyahoga Recycles: How to Pack a Waste Free Lunch
A waste-free lunch means that you have no trash to throw away when you're done. The best way to reduce trash is to not create it. In Cuyahoga County, each of us creates approximately 5-7 pounds of trash per day. Packing a waste-free lunch reduces the amount of trash we make.
