On Your Collection Day

  • Set out your recycling cart by 6:00 a.m. along the edge of the alley or curb with arrows on the top lid facing out. 
  • Place your recycling cart at least two feet away from objects such as garages, trash cart, cars, trees, fences, etc.
  • Do not place the cart on or behind any retaining wall, inside a fence, or behind a car.
  • All material must fit loosely inside your cart with the lid closed. Do not place extra cardboard next to your cart.
  • Remember to remove your cart from the curb or alley line after collection. 
  • Make sure snow is cleared away from the recycling cart. Do not place in or on a snow bank, or in standing water (to prevent your cart from freezing to the ground in the winter). 

Was there a tag left on your cart after collection?

If there is a tag hanging on the handle of your recycling cart after the recycling truck has passed your house- please read it carefully. Take note of the information and address the needed changes so that your recycling is not missed in the future. For questions, contact Eureka Recycling at 651-222-7678.

Buying or Selling a Home?

No action is needed to set up or cancel recycling service at a residential property. Recycling services are funded though an assessment on your taxes; this will automatically switch when the sale goes through. Find your recycling collection day using the link below.

  • If you are selling a home- leave the blue recycling cart in a secure location at your property, for example, in the garage or out of site from the street or alley.
  • If you are purchasing a home- a blue recycling cart should already be at the property. If there is no recycling cart or you would like a different size, call Eureka Recycling at 651-222-7678.
  • Trash service- call your garbage hauler directly after closing. Find out who your hauler is using the link bellow.
