New Year Brings New Recycling Program

Single-sort recycling is coming to Minnetonka in January and with it, the ability to recycle more items, including plastic shopping bags.

Every household will receive a 60-gallon wheeled, lidded recycling cart. Carts will be delivered in late November or early December, although service won’t start until January.

• All the recyclables go together—no more sorting and separating.
• Recycle more items, including plastic shopping bags and all plastic and glass food and beverage containers.
• Your recycling pickup day won’t change, but pickup will take place every two weeks instead of every week.

More detailed information will be in the November Minnetonka Memo. Also, recycling representatives will be available at the Minnetonka Fire Department and City Open House Oct. 11. Stop by and see a recycling cart, and pick up more information about the program.
