Ordinance Requires Minneapolis Businesses to Recycle | News

A new ordinance in Minneapolis will require all businesses to offer recycling.

The ordinance, which takes effect Sept. 1, requires all Minneapolis commercial and business properties to provide regular recycling collection, recycling containers, recycling collection and storage areas, and a written recycling plan.

The city of Minneapolis is working with Hennepin County to provide information and assistance to businesses that don’t already recycle.
