Organics Recycling redirects food waste from the trash to be fully recycled into compost. This type of recycling can be an easy way for residents to participate in helping our climate and reduce the amount of greenhouse gases produced.
The City of Edina passed the Climate Action Plan in December 2021 with the goal to divert 70 percent of our organics away from landfills by 2030.
The goal of the city's Organics Recycling program is to ensure that every resident can benefit from better waste management practices. The program fee appears on quarterly utility bills with the traditional recycling.
Free rolls of compostable bags are available at the Edina Senior Center reception desk.
