Garbage & Recycling

Edina residents are required to separate recycling from garbage. Grass clippings, leaves, tree branches and other yard waste are not allowed in garbage or organics recycling.

  • Garbage: Edina residents must contract with a licensed garbage hauler for service. 
  • Recycling: Edina has single -sort recycling. All recyclables go in your blue bin. The City contracts with Republic Services to pick up recycling.
  • Organics recycling: Edina has curbside pickup service for all single-family homes and is assisting apartment and condominium dwellers in adding the service to their residences. The City contracts with Vierkant Disposal for this service.
  • Yard waste: Pickup can be arranged through your garbage hauler or taken to a drop-off site in the metro area.

Pickup Schedules

Garbage: Picked up on schedule you've contracted with hauler.
Organics recycling: Picked up weekly on same day as garbage.
