Sustainable Lakewood

With regard to the ecological health of our city, Lakewood ranks among the top Cuyahoga County communities for our residential recycling rate. In 2015, the city completed the city-wide automation of our curbside recycling program by distributing over 18,000 plastic recycling containers to residents over a two year timeframe to better streamline recycling collection, save money over the long run and improve recycling rates moving forward.

To see more about the city’s efforts with regard to sustainability — everything from recycling to leaf collection, from energy efficiency to clean water — check out our Sustainable Lakewood page.
