Residential Recycling Toolkit

Beginning in Spring 2012, many Twin Cities recycling service providers are accepting more materials as new markets for recyclable materials have become available. The SWMCB has updated this Residential Recycling Toolkit with new language, images, and tools to reflect the additional materials accepted and help partners promote recycling in the metro area. 

'Get LESS!' Waste Reduction Toolkit

The SWMCB Waste Reduction toolkit provides resources to county and municipal staff and other partner organizations to educate and encourage consumers to "Get LESS!".

Household Hazardous Waste Toolkit

The SWMCB Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) toolkit provides resources to county and municipal staff and other partner organizations to educate and encourage consumers to "do the right thing" with HHW.

Electronics Recycling Toolkit and Technical Resources

The SWMCB has developed a communications toolkit and collection of technical resources on electronics recycling for county and municipal staff, electronics recyclers and collectors, and other organizations that will advance the successful implementation of e-waste legislation in Minnesota and encourage consumers to recycle electronics.

Compostable Bags Toolkit

As of January 1, 2010 most metro-area residents are required to place all yard waste and organics in compostable bags for curbside pick-up. This toolkit includes information, FAQs, and images for partners to use in their coverage on the compostable bag requirements for metro area residents.

Product Stewardship Resources

A selection of product stewardship resources are provided for county and municipal staff to aid in the advancement of product stewardship in Minnesota.  Product stewardship means that all parties involved in designing, manufacturing, selling, and using a product share in the financial and physical responsibility for collecting and recycling products at the end of their useful lives.
