Business Recycling Directory
Find a disposal solution for the waste materials generated at your workplace or business.
Because Cuyahoga County has a highly developed recycling and composting infrastructure, businesses can recycle more and landfill less than any other location in Ohio. Doing so will reduce your company's waste disposal costs -- proving that what's good for business can also be good for our environment.
The Solid Waste District maintains a Recycling Directory for Business & Industry that lists companies that recycle, reuse, or compost waste materials produced by businesses and institutions in Cuyahoga County.
Materials that are recyclable or reusable in Cuyahoga County can be searched in the dark blue What Do I Do With? search bar at the top of every page of this website. Scroll down to see a list of options under Business Locations. You will find a list of companies, listed by distance from your location, that accept the items you wish to recycle or compost. Because services vary by company, contact them to verify recycling procedures, drop-off or pick-up information, and potential charges.
If you have a specific question about a material or need help setting up a waste reduction program for your company or business, contact the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District's business recycling specialist at (216) 443-3732 or send an email.
Ohio Materials Marketplace
The Ohio Materials Marketplace aims to create a closed-loop, collaborative network of businesses, organizations, and entrepreneurs where one organization's hard-to-recycle wastes and by-products becomes another organization's raw material. In addition to diverting waste from landfills, these recovery activities will generate significant cost and energy savings, and create new jobs and business opportunities.
Materials Marketplace has joined Rheaply to create the largest circular economy platform for challenging waste and by-product materials.
How it Works
- Join. Businesses of any type, commercial and industrial sectors, nonprofits, schools, colleges, and universities may create an account and join the Ohio Materials Marketplace. Membership for individuals is not permitted.
- Browse the marketplace to see the types of materials that organizations seek to acquire in addition to items that are currently available. Items can be sold or given away. If you need marketplace assistance including setting up an account contact OMM.

Marketplace managers can help you complete transactions through the ‘Talk to our Team’ button on the bottom right of the member screen.
