Thank you for your interest in organics recycling! Please fill out our form below in order for us to email you information about the locations and other details of recycling drop-off bins within the Marcy-Holmes Neighborhood.
Please Note:
"Contamination" (disposing of NON-compostable waste along with compostable organics) is a significant obstacle to effective organics recycling, because contaminated organics must be trashed instead of composted. Therefore, taking care to avoid contamination and properly use the shared organics recycling drop-off site will be the collective responsibility of all users. Helpful resources include:
• City of Minneapolis organics recycling guidelines:
http://minneapolismn.gov/solid-waste/organics/acceptable-organics• Compostable bags (either BPI certified compostable plastic or paper grocery bags) are required for collection of organic materials. See Bagging your Organics - Do's and Don'ts for more information:
http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/www/groups/public/@publicworks/documents/webcontent/wcmsp-182628.pdf.
We hope you can utilize this resource to help us begin to expand organics recycling in Marcy-Holmes!
