Canton's curbside program collects aluminum and bi-metal cans, glass, paper, and plastics numbered 1 and 2, rinsed and placed in the provided container. Stark, Tuscarawas, and Wayne counties are served by the joint Stark-Tuscarawas-Wayne recycling district.
Recycling is coordinated by your municipality and the Stark-Tuscarawas-Wayne Joint Solid Waste District, not by Stark County government directly. The City of Canton's curbside recycling program collects aluminum/bi-metals, glass, paper, and plastics numbered 1 and 2 only; residents must rinse and clean all items and place them in the provided recycling container. Ohio does not mandate household recycling participation, but the regional district is required to make curbside and drop-off recycling available across the three counties and runs drop-off centers (Canton Recycle Center and Wayne and Tuscarawas sites). Confirm accepted materials at timetorecycle.org, as plastics beyond #1 and #2 are generally not accepted curbside.
Contaminated or non-accepted materials may cause a load to be rejected; Canton's sanitation rules govern container placement and set-out timing for recyclables.
