Recycling
We service ANOKA COUNTY residents only. Styrofoam recycling is open to the State of Minnesota.
*Paint Recycling*
We are now a MN PaintCare drop site. Check out the paint recycling page for more information.
*Self-serve Paper Shredding*
Paper shredding is open. Temperatures MUST be above 40 degrees and dry for their use. During the spring, shredders will be out of service until the temp hits 40 degrees. Paper shredders will be out of service 10 minutes prior to closing.
The 2022 paper shredding event schedule is posted under the paper shredding link.
Requests: When dropping off a mattress, please stack them the tall way, and neatly pack them as tight as you can to save space.
About the Recycling Program
The Recycling Division is actively involved in recycling as mandated by the state’s Select Committee on Recycling and Environment (SCORE). This program is unique in that it is city operated, but funded from a State SCORE grant. Our focus is on residential and small business recycling and our programs are set up to help each with every aspect of recycling and waste reduction.

What’s New?
Our expansion project is taking slightly longer than planned. Elevated costs and material shortages have pushed the project out of budget. The site plan has been modified and cuts have been made. We are wrapping up final engineering changes and should be getting formal bids in June! Once approved updated plans will be posted! Stay tuned!
