Recycling Collection
Recycling Collection Update 1/20/2023 at 4:00 p.m.
We are aware some customers had garbage and recycling carts that were in the street and were damaged by snowplows. We share your frustration that it is difficult to keep a clear space for your carts on the boulevard or alley because of the frequent, large, and heavy snowfalls this winter.
Please help your neighbors by cleaning up any spilled garbage and/or recyclables. To request a recycling cart repair or replacement call Eureka Recycling at 651-222-7678,
If your recycling cart is usable, place it upright in your driveway apron, sidewalk opening or on the boulevard for collection.
Recycling and garbage carts must not be placed in the street. Winter collection guidelines can be found at: Winter Collection. Please review the link below, or refer to the Annual Garbage and Recycling Guide that you received earlier this month for more information on cart use and placement.
In addition:
Winter weather and road conditions have caused challenges for regular recycling collection over the past few weeks.
We apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for your continued patience.
We will keep you updated on any collection delays. To check the status of your recycling pick-up and/or sign up for alerts, visit eurekarecycling.org/pickup
If needed, you can take extra materials to our free Recycling Drop off Center .
