The Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District reports that Cuyahoga County generated approximately 953,000 tons – yes TONS – of waste in 2022! We all have a part to play in reducing this number and diverting trash from the landfill. Our speakers will give a brief overview of what a circular economy is and provide practical tips and guidance on how to implement or enhance a program for your business or building that will reduce, reuse, repair and lastly, recycle waste. We will learn how the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District and EPA’s Ohio Materials Marketplace are among the resources available to you and have been helping businesses improve their waste management plans for years. We’ll leave time for Q&A.
