Recycling Styrofoam in Cleveland Heights
Recycling Styrofoam in Cleveland Heights
The City has partnered with Edgewater Surf, to collect EPS Foam twice a month, densify it for transport, and send it to a processor, which will recycle it into a product that is used to improve energy efficiency in homes.
A permanent drop-off location is accessible from the parking lot at Forest Hill Park. Enter from Lee Boulevard, just north of Monticello Boulevard. The drop-off area will be secured with a combination lock. Participants will place their EPS in one of eight bulk storage bags within the enclosure.
Cleveland Heights residents will need to register to obtain the access code. Register here.
The Cleveland Heights Green Team worked in close partnership with the City of Cleveland Heights and the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District to introduce this forward-thinking recycling service to our community.

Heights Libraries Summer Reading Kick Off
Cleveland Heights Green Team invites the Heights families to stop by our table at the Heights Libraries Summer Reading Kick Off event to create a picture story about the things we love in nature and how we can better protect our environment.
This upcycle workshop will provide a space for children to express their ideas through images and make a collage that they can take home to remind them of the importance of our connection with the natural world.
