Recycling is required statewide in the Twin Cities metro under Minn. Stat. Sec. 115A.552. Prior Lake residents receive recycling through their selected hauler.
Under Minn. Stat. Sec. 115A.552 (Greater Minnesota Recycling) and the Hennepin/Scott County recycling programs, residential recycling service is required in Twin Cities metro counties including Scott County. Residents in Prior Lake receive recycling through their chosen waste hauler - paper, cardboard, glass, aluminum, steel, and most plastics are accepted in standard single-stream carts. Yard waste is banned from MSW landfills statewide under Minn. Stat. Sec. 115A.931 and must be composted, mulched, or taken to a yard waste site. Scott County also operates household hazardous waste collection for paints, solvents, batteries, and electronics.
Failure to recycle is generally not a direct citation but improper disposal (e.g., yard waste in regular trash) can trigger nuisance enforcement. Illegal dumping is a misdemeanor with fines up to $1,000.
