Rethink Recycling


RECYCLING LAW
In 2016, the Minnesota State Legislature passed a law requiring almost all businesses in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area to recycle at least three types of material, such as paper, metal and plastic. If you’re not there yet, we can help! Get in touch with us today.
We’re here to help you figure this out.
Managing your trash better doesn’t have to be hard. We have recycling experts who will come to your workplace and create a plan to help you recycle better. We even give grants of up to $10,000 to make improvements. We’ve awarded over 600 grants to businesses! Contact us to sign-up and #recyclebetter.
