Recycling

Paper | Cell Phones | Christmas Trees

You don't have to buy a hybrid car or install solar panels on your roof to become a better steward of the environment. You can start by recycling paper, cell phones – even your Christmas tree.


Paper
You may dispose of newspapers, magazines, catalogs and office paper in several recycling bins, available at the following locations during regular hours:

Cascade Valley Metro Park / Oxbow

Firestone Metro Park / Tuscarawas Meadows

Firestone Metro Park / Warner Road

Goodyear Heights Metro Park / Main Entrance

Gorge Metro Park / Main Entrance

Sand Run Metro Park / Lone Spruce

Sand Run Metro Park / Old Portage

Sand Run Metro Park / Wadsworth

Towpath Trail / Memorial Parkway

 

Cell Phones
Recycling your old cell phone reduces waste and can prevent harmful chemicals from reaching groundwater or polluting the air. Bins for cell phones are available at the following locations during regular hours:

F.A. Seiberling Nature Realm
10 a.m to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday
Noon to 5 p.m. Sunday

Sand Run Metro Park / Administrative Offices
8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday

Christmas Trees

Firestone Metro Park / Little Turtle

Furnace Run Metro Park / Brushwood

Goodyear Heights Metro Park / Main Entrance

Sand Run Metro Park / Treaty Line

Silver Creek Metro Park / Big Oak
