Solid Waste will cancel all curbside recycling contracts at the end of the year in a bid to standardize pricing

- Wendy DiAlesandro

Affected communities are Atwater, Brimfield Township, Franklin Township, Kent, Mantua Township, Ravenna and Ravenna Township, Rootstown Township, Shalersville Township, and Suffield Township.
