Dec. 30 - Jan. 4 is Recycling Week

Wed. - Fri. Zones Delayed One Day

Recycling will be on the regular day Monday and Tuesday, December 30-31. Collection will be delayed one day in the Wednesday - Friday zones. Remember wrapping paper goes in the trash - not recycling. Flatten boxes. You can tape them in bundles of 4' x 4' x 6" and place on top of or next to your cart.

Remember to have your cart at the curb by 6:30 a.m. Crews have until 6:00 p.m. to finish collection. Make sure your cart is at least three feet away from any objects such as another cart or a mailbox. Place your cart in your driveway or on the boulevard with the handle facing away from the street. Do not put carts in the street.

Have material loose in your cart, never in bags. Plastic bags are thrown in the trash unopened at the sorting facility. Material in paper bags can get stuck inside during compaction on the truck. Meaning it can't be successfully separated at the sorting facility.

Holiday Trees and Lights

Garbage haulers will be collecting trees in the coming weeks. Look for information from them or visit their website for details.

If you have burned out holiday string lights you can recycle them at the Hennepin County Drop-Off Facility, 8100 Jefferson Highway.

Never put lights, cords, cables or plastic bags in your recycling cart. They items get wound around the machinery at the sorting facility. They must be cut off by hand before being thrown in the trash.
