The City of Cleveland is committed to lowering its overall level of waste output. Recently, a consultant submitted various solutions to reach that goal. That is why Cleveland is “Talking Trash!” in a series of open houses to be held in July, August and September. The open houses will provide residents an opportunity to see displays on a variety of topics around waste management including recycling techniques; listen to a presentation of proposed waste management solutions; and to provide feedback on the proposed solutions.
All public meeting will begin at 6:00 pm and will be held at the following locations:

Though I returned to Cleveland to head up the Lake Erie Office (in the Governor’s office before the Commission was established), I was Deputy Director of Ohio EPA, responsible for the Solid Waste program and developed H.B.592, Ohio’s Solid Waste Act. I’ve since served on the County SW Advisory Council and am very concerned with local government’s capacity to manage its waste and recycling programs.
