NEW in 2022! Resident Yard Waste Cart Program Republic Services
NEW in 2022! Organics Recycling Program for Residents
Why Did Minnetonka Beach Institute Organics Recycling?
Hennepin County Ordinance 13 requires municipalities of a certain size to offer all residents in one-through four-plex households the opportunity to receive either curbside or container organics collection. Following guidance from the Metropolitan Solid Waste Management Policy, and the Hennepin County Solid Waste Management Master Plan, the City of Minnetonka Beach decided to implement a one container locked receptacle program for organics recycling rather than individual curbside cart collection at residences. This program is no charge to our residents, diverts the most material from the waste stream, and offers residents the opportunity to help reduce food waste and other materials which comprise up to 40% of typical municipal solid waste (trash.)
Food scraps, soiled paper, and compostable products - including messy pizza boxes - can all be put in the organics receptacle located near the Minnetonka Beach Public Works Facility at 2510 Woodbridge Rd near the City water tower.
