ReVision : ReWorks Looks To Future Collection Center 

(posted 7-11-2024)

In an effort to offer more opportunities for Summit County residents to recycle, ReWorks will construct a new collection center so that we can expand our services. The new facility will be located on the same parcel as the current Collection Center and is scheduled to be completed in 2025.

Once the new collection center opens, ReWorks will start collecting materials that are recyclable beyond home recycling carts from Summit County residents and businesses in addition to continuing our seasonal Household Hazardous Waste Collections.

Other Materials- an expansion of Recycling Days Collection

• Examples: Styrofoam™, Glass, String Lights, Campaign Signs, & Televisions
• Hours and days under review and to be determined.

Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection

• HHW Collection days will remain the same as it has been since

The proposed facility plan calls for a 9,800 square feet building with 5,700 square feet enclosed. Hasenstab Architects, Inc. is the project architect and engineer and construction will be completed by Seitz Builder, Inc.  

The Akron Mirror, an Akron-Summit County Public Library podcast, met with our Executive Director, Marcie Kress, to discuss what ReWorks is and our role as a materials management resource within Summit County. Whether you are familiar with ReWorks' services and mission or are new to what ReWorks offers Summit County, we are certain you will find the episode interesting and informative. Topics range from recycling carts, and why acceptable materials are not the same everywhere, to solid waste districts, what they are and why they exist, to what to do with things that can't go in your home recycling cart, and more.
