Recycling

Paper | Cell Phones | Christmas Trees

You don't have to buy a hybrid car or install solar panels on your roof to become a better steward of the environment. You can start by recycling paper, cell phones – even your Christmas tree.


Paper
You may dispose of newspapers, magazines, catalogs and office paper in several recycling bins, available at the following locations during regular hours:

Firestone Metro Park / Tuscarawas Meadows

Firestone Metro Park / Warner Road

Goodyear Heights Metro Park / Main Entrance

Gorge Metro Park / Main Entrance

Sand Run Metro Park / Lone Spruce

Towpath Trail / Memorial Parkway

Cell Phones
Recycling your old cell phone reduces waste and can prevent harmful chemicals from reaching groundwater or polluting the air. Bins for cell phones are available at the following locations during regular hours:

Goodyear Heights Metro Park / Pavilion
10 a.m to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday
Noon to 5 p.m. Sunday

Sand Run Metro Park / Administrative Offices
8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday

Christmas Trees
We 'recycle' trees, cleaned of all decorations and tinsel, by chipping them into mulch. You may drop off your live tree at the following locations, December 26 through January 31:

Firestone Metro Park / Little Turtle Pond

Furnace Run / Brushwood

Goodyear Heights Metro Park / Main Entrance

Sand Run Metro Park / Treaty Line Road

Silver Creek Metro Park / Big Oak

Did You Know?

Cave Café
Mary Campbell Cave in Gorge Metro Park used to be called Old Maid's Kitchen. In the summer, tourists to the area had lunch lowered to them from the cliff above - for a fee, of course.

O'Neil Offer
Much of O'Neil Woods Metro Park was donated in 1972 by the O'Neil family, of General Tire fame.
