The City of Wickliffe has a DROP-OFF RECYCLING PROGRAM for its residents convenience. All Wickliffe residents are encouraged to participate in the drop-off recycling program. Recycling bins at the drop off site are emptied on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons. If the bins are full, please come back at another time after the bins have been emptied. This will prevent overflow of the bins. Please, do not throw your recyclables on the parking lot area around the bins. Help keep Wickliffe clean and neat. Thank you!

RECYCLED MATERIALS INCLUDE:

Newspaper, Magazines, & Glossy Inserts
Place newspaper, magazines and glossy inserts all in the same paper bag (no need to separate) and place them in the "Paper" section of the drop-off bin. Loose collection of newspaper and magazines is also allowed. No Plastic Bags, please!
Green & yellow Abitibi Paper Retriever Bins are now located at each of the recycling sites for your newspapers, magazines and junk mail. Please do not put cardboard or phone books in the Abitibi Paper Retriever bins.

Glass Bottles & Jars
Rinse glass and remove lids before putting in bin. Brown, green and clear colored glass is collected. Do not recycle light bulbs, plate glass, mirrors, or any glass that is not a beverage bottle or food container.

Aluminum and Metal Cans
Rinse and place aluminum and metal cans in your recycling bin. You do not have to remove labels from the cans. To conserve space, you may crush your cans. Do not recycle scrap metal, paint cans, aluminum foil, or disposable aluminum plates or pie tins.

Plastic
Rinse and remove the lids before placing plastic containers in the roll-off bin. Recycle only the plastic containers with the #1 PETE and #2 HDPE recycle symbol. Do not recycle plastic wrap or other types of plastic containers such as those used for motor oil or antifreeze.

Corrugated Cardboard & Chipboard
Collapse and fold corrugated cardboard and household paperboard (such as cereal boxes) and put cardboard materials in the "paper" section of the drop-off bin. Collapsing the boxes will save room in the collection bin, allowing more materials to be put in the bin.

If you have any questions about what can be placed in the drop off recycling containers, please call the City Programs Coordinator at (440) 943-7100.

Planet Aid Clothing Collection Bins
Two yellow clothing collection bins have been placed at the Coulby Park recycling site. Residents may donate clothing to Planet Aid by placing their clothing in these bins. Planet Aid is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of people in developing countries. Their objectives include development, relief aid, and protecting the environment. Planet Aid was founded in 1997 and has since then collected and resold used clothing as a means to raise funds for development projects overseas, such as schools, health programs or HIV/AIDS prevention in Africa, Asia and Central America.

The yellow Planet Aid clothing bins will be permanently located at the Coulby Park recycling site. Clothing donations may be made at any time of the year.
