3772 Copley Road- Recycle Center is located next to the Depot and caboose.

The Copley Township Recycle Center was made possible by using Community Recycling Access Grant (CRAG) funding from Summit Reworks, the solid waste management authority for the Summit County. The facility opened in August 2012 and was built to give residents a way to recycle if they have no other means to do so and one doesn't have to be a Copley resident to use it.

Due to changes in the recycling industry worldwide our accepted item list has changed. Only those items that appear on the list below are accepted.

Commingle Container

Plastics #1 & #2 ONLY - #3 - #7 not accepted
Glass Bottles & Jars - Clear, brown, green ONLY
Steel or Bi-metal Cans ONLY
Aseptic Cartons ONLY - OJ, milk, half&half, etc.

Rinse out all of the above items to ensure a clean load

Aluminum Can Container

Aluminum Cans ONLY 

Please do not deposit any item in any container that is not on the above list.  Doing so risks trash contamination and the rejection of the entire load by the recycling processor. Rejected loads will be taken to a landfill which defeats the purpose of this facility.

Aluminum Cans ONLY Container

 Andy (our Recycle Monitor) helps the customers at the Recycle Center to maintain the cleanliness of the containers.

Dry Latex Paint to a Solid

To dry paint to a solid, follow these simple instructions:

• Mix absorbent material (i.e., cat litter, sawdust, shredded newspaper) into the paint and allow the mixture to dry thoroughly. Use a 50/50 blend to ensure the quickest dry time; or
• Let the paint dry out by removing the lid and setting the paint can in a well-ventilated area (this works best for small quantities of paint); or
• Pour thin layers (about 1 inch of paint) into a disposable pie plate or cardboard box lined with plastic and allow the paint to dry one layer at a time. Repeat this process until all the paint is dry.
• Once the paint is dry, leave the lid off the can and place it in your regular trash.
