An automated waste-collection program has begun for Cleveland residents. The new system is significantly more efficient and user-friendly, and should encourage more participation in recycling, since items can be recycled curbside
Through this program, residents receive sturdy garbage carts for trash and recycling which can be wheeled to the curb.
The new collection program will eventually be city-wide. Residents will receive postcards and brochures regarding the program prior to receiving their new carts. Normal scheduled pick-up dates will not be affected.
