We have introduced our new Single Sort Recycling Program to many
parts of the Twin Cities area over the last year or two. One Cart.
No Sorting. No Kidding. It's the easiest way to recycle! For more

weeks your city recycles find your city at the "Locate Your
City" link.
Our Two Sort Recycling System is easy too! Please follow these simple
guidelines:
1. Paper Products
Put all recyclable papers into a paper “shopping” bag
(you can use more than one if you need to), and place the bag on
top of, or next to, your recycling bin.
Recyclable papers include:
- Newspapers, magazines, file folders, papers (all colors),
fax sheets, envelopes, catalogs, small phone books and junk mail
- Corrugated cardboard, box board (such as cereal, cracker, tissue,
and shoe boxes). Please flatten, bundle & cut to 3' x 3' x 6" (Please
place next to or under the recycle bin.)
