Collection of garbage, recyclables, problem materials and seasonal yard wastes
It is the intent of the City of Minneapolis to accept and evaluate proposals for the collection of
garbage, recyclables, problem materials (metals, appliances and electronics) and seasonal yard
wastes. The goals of the City for overall solid waste services are to maximize the cost
effectiveness of services provided to Minneapolis Residents, to maintain or exceed the current
high level of customer satisfaction for solid waste and recycling services and to fulfill the Clean
City mission of Solid Waste and Recycling Services. Additional goals of the City for Organized
Collection are to recognize the need for a comprehensive wastes collection program that meets
the unique physical and demographic challenges of a core urban city; to protect the heath and
safety of City residents and visitors by minimizing disruption of collection services due to natural
events, labor disputes or Incidents of National Significance or change of haulers; and to comply
with City policies on Small and Minority Owned Businesses, Living Wage and Domestic Partner
Benefits and anti-discrimination requirements.
