Recycling is collected every two weeks. Your collection day is based on your location – if you live west of I-494, collection is on Mondays; for those east of I-494, collection is on Tuesdays.

2026 Recycling Calendar

Put recycling out by 6:30 a.m. on collection day. Place your recycling cart and garbage cart on opposite sides of your driveway – at least three feet apart from each other and other objects.

Three holidays will delay recycling collection, and only for residents whose service dates fall in the week with that holiday.

• Memorial Day
• Labor Day

All garbage and recycling containers must be stored out of public view except on the evening before and day of collection.

If not stored inside a garage, residents must install screening to hide the entire garbage container from view.

To report a violation, use our online request system or call 952-939-8200.

Contact Republic Services at 952-941-5174 to:

• Request a larger, smaller, additional or replacement cart
• Let them know your cart was missed

Only items in your cart will be collected; drivers will not pick up any items on the ground. Bring additional or large items, such as cardboard boxes, to the city’s recycling drop-off center.

Owners and managers of apartment buildings and condominiums with more than eight units are required to provide on-site recycling services for their residents.  Material to be recycled must include at a minimum:

• Newspaper
• Corrugated cardboard
• Glass – clear and colored
• Cans – both food and beverage cans
• Plastic bottles

Collection of recyclables must occur at least monthly.  Contact your building manager for program details.  If your building does not have on-site recycling, contact Code Compliance staff at 952-939-8200

Hennepin County has helpful information on apartment and condominium recycling for both residents and property managers.
