Organics recycling gives residents a chance to redirect their food scraps from the trash to the organics bin. The program fee appears on quarterly utility bills.

In an effort to meet Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and Hennepin County waste reduction goals, the City Council directed staff to implement a organics recycling program in 2020. A study by Hennepin County found that at least 25 percent of trash is made up of organic materials – the largest category within trash that could be diverted from landfills.
