Do not place discs and media in your curbside recycling.

Cuyahoga County residents can recycle unwanted CDs, DVDs, video games and cases at the Solid Waste District. The District accepts these items year-round at 4750 East 131 Street in Garfield Heights. Drop items off in our building vestibule during regular business hours Monday-Friday from 8:30 AM-4:30 PM or on second Saturdays. Look for the labeled collection bin. No bags or boxes in the recycling bin, please. Place items loose in our vestibule drop box and take all bags, boxes and containers home with you.

Acceptable materials include compact discs (CDs), compact discs - recordable (CD-Rs), compact discs - rewritable (CD-RWs), digital video discs (DVDs), Blu-ray discs, 3.5” and 5.25” floppy disks, zip and jazz disks plus jewel/media cases. Items are recycled by Greendisk.
