Shaker Heights City News Posted on January 16, 2026

After researching different options, consulting with other municipalities, and taking into account resident requests, Shaker’s Public Works Department has announced that residents may purchase and use recycling containers of up to 18 gallons in capacity. These are widely available on line and at local hardware stores and should display the recycling icon.

Free five-gallon recycling buckets are provided by the City. Residents may email Public Works to request free buckets.

The Public Works Department encourages residents to use the18-gallon bins for paper and cardboard and the 5-gallon buckets for bottles and cans.

Whether using the free buckets or the 18-gallon bins, residents should make sure to follow recycling guidelines at shakerheightsoh.gov/199/Recycling
