Minneapolis, MN Trash & Recycling: Recycling Requirements (2026)

Minneapolis provides city collection to residential buildings with four or fewer dwelling units and to townhouses (§ 225.600). For those properties, every mobile refuse container and every yard-waste or recyclables container must be placed at the solid waste collection point by 6:00 a.m. on the designated collection day; where the collection point sits at the front curb, containers cannot go out before 7:00 a.m. the day before and must be removed by 7:00 a.m. the day after, and can't otherwise sit in the front yard. All yard waste and recyclable materials must go into containers the director of public works has approved. Buildings with two or more units that aren't on city service instead run recycling through their owner or licensed private hauler under § 225.780.
