Recycling

St. Louis Park residents now have the opportunity to recycle more materials than ever before! Residents can now recycle pizza boxes, pop and beer boxes, milk cartons and juice boxes, and clean and dry clothes, linens and shoes.

 

Please sort your recycling into two categories, Bottles & Cans and Paper & Cardboard. Your materials must be sorted into these two sorting categories to make sure they can be recycled.  Place recycling materials in city recycling bins. Paper bags may be used to separate your materials inside the bins. Please do not use plastic bags.  

 

Place glass and plastic bottles, steel and aluminum cans, and milk cartons and juice boxes together in a bin. Items such as yogurt tubs, plastic bags, and plastic plant pots cannot be recycled at the curb. For more information, read Plastic Recycling: Complications and Limitations fact sheet, or visit www.eurekarecycling.org.

 

NEW! Recycle your milk cartons and juice boxes!  These cartons are made of 70-85% paper which is separated from the metal lining and plastic coating in a pulping process.

 

It's Easy!
1. Remove caps, rinse clean & flatten (plastic pour spouts are okay)
2. Put these items together in a bin or paper bag. No plastic bags!

 

 

Sort 2: Paper & Cardboard
Place newspaper (with inserts), magazines, mail, phonebooks, office paper, corrugated cardboard (flattened to 3ft x 3ft), boxboard, including pop and beer boxes together in a bin. No plastic bags! 

NO: Egg cartons, pizza boxes, paper cups or plates, napkins, refrigerated or frozen food boxes, boxes with food or grease, tissue or wrapping paper

 

St. Louis Park residents can now recycle clean and dry clothes, linens and shoes on any collection day. Torn and worn items are OK. Put items in a sturdy plastic bag. Fasten and clearly mark the bag “Clothes & Linens” and place it next to your other recycling. Clothes & Linens bags do not need to be inside your recycling bin. Clean items only (torn & worn items are OK).
