Attention Shingle Creek Residents! Tiny Field Gardens

Maybe Coming to Shingle Creek Neighborhood!

either pollinators or produce in their boulevards and

we’re willing to help get you started.

Send us a note letting us know you’re interested along with your address and contact

information by no later than May 6th! We’re looking to get started helping folks test, till,

and grow a Tiny Fields garden in their boulevards yet this summer!

N E W T O T H E C I T Y ? G O T Q U E S T I O N S A B O U T R E C Y C L I N G S E R V I C E : Recycling is collected every other week. The maximum weight for the 96-gallon large one-sort cart and its con-

tents is 200 pounds. Your recycling cart must be at your collection point by 6 a.m. on your recycling day

each recycling week.

Customers are provided with a recycling cart, either a small or a large cart. City crews deliver and maintain all

carts. If your cart is damaged, call Solid Waste & Recycling at (612) 673-2917 to request for your cart to be re-

paired.

Extra recyclables may be placed next to the recycling cart in a cardboard box or in paper bags. If you consis-

tently have extra recycling, call Solid Waste & Recycling at (612) 673-2917 to request an additional one-sort cart.

Your collection day is assigned by the Solid Waste & Recycling Division. Routes are created so the Division oper-

ates in the most cost-effective way.

H O W T O P R E PA R E Y O U R R E C Y C L I N G : One-sort makes recycling easier! Sim-

ply rinse your containers and place all

recyclables loose or in paper bags in

your one-sort cart.

Do not place plastic bags in your

recycling cart. You may collect your

recycling in plastic bags, but you must

dump the recyclables out of the plastic

bag into the cart and place the plastic

bag in the garbage or bring it to a sec-

ond hand store for reuse or a partici-

pating grocery store for recycling. You

may also collect your recycling in a re-

suable bag and empty the contents

into your one-sort cart for collection.

See chart for acceptedmaterials. For

more information contact: Call Solid

Waste & Recycling at (612) 673-2917.
