Myth: Anything with a recycling symbol should go in your recycling bin.
Fact: The “chasing arrows” symbol generally identifies the type of plastic used in a container, but it does not mean that an item is recyclable. Always check with your recycling hauler and see what they CAN accept and recycle as it may differ.

I have to thank the Lake County Department of Utilities, especially Martha, Joel, Rick and Mike, who are helping me find my water shut off. Selling your property can be a real headache, and I just want to let them know that I am so grateful for their help.
Will there be a paper recycling this year?
Is the yard waste disposal open yet off Hardy Road?
Can you likewise comment on your utility services?
I heard about flushable wipe and did not break down in sewer by news. Do your sewer have problem with flushable wipe?
Looking for information on the water line project on River Road in Willoughby Hills. Can't seem to find any on the website or elsewhere ~
Has the water been turned back on for Rogers/ Ridgeview to Twin Lakes Dr in Wickliffe? Is there a boil alert?
Thanks for fixing are water problems today!!! We appreciate you!!!
We had a line break here in Madison two nights ago and they gave us a case of water and a Pur water filter. I have long been a sworn Aquafina ONLY fan but water through that filter tastes the same once the chlorine is removed!! If you gave everyone in the county one bottled water sales here would be all but gone!!
What sort of bacteria is it? How did this happen? Obviously you guys detected the bacteria somehow, which means you know what it is. Care to share details? I agree with the majority here, you guys are being very vague.
Is there an estimate for how long the water will be out on Delaware St in Wickliffe?
I'm unable to login to your website to set up autopay/make payments.....I've tried on the phone with internet, on data only, Laptop, etc...Are there issues going on?
