Council passes ordinance to ratify Cuyahoga County solid waste management plan update
Summary
Council unanimously approved Ordinance 2025-07 to adopt the Cuyahoga County solid waste management district recycling/solid waste plan update and declared an emergency; staff said the district—s administrative fee remains $2 and the county revises the plan every five years.
The Pepper Pike City Council voted unanimously to pass Ordinance 2025-07, approving the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste Management District—s updated solid waste management plan and declaring an emergency to meet the county schedule.
The council action implements a county-level plan that the presenter described as the district—s fifth update since the original 1994 plan and which local governments must adopt to remain in compliance with state and county requirements.
City staff summarized the update for council, saying the district—s administrative charge remains at $2 per solid waste fund for Pepper Pike residents and that the district covers recycling, contract management, litter prevention, community recycling presentations and other regional programs. The presenter said Pepper Pike—s contribution remains one of the lowest in the state for comparably sized jurisdictions and that the county revisits the plan on a five-year cycle.
Council moved to suspend rules and then passed the ordinance on a roll-call vote; the transcript shows unanimous "yes" votes recorded. No amendments were proposed in the meeting.
Staff did not identify local operational changes required of the city beyond formal adoption; the plan remains primarily a county-administered program and local jurisdictions adopt the county plan as part of the statutory framework for regional solid waste management.
