Organics Cart Rental from Minneapolis

Fun meeting last night on Green Parties! Thanks to everyone for all their great ideas!

If you live in Minneapolis, or if you are planning an event is in Minneapolis, did you know that you can rent an organics collection cart from the city of Minneapolis? The city will drop it off at a specific location on the date you want, and pick it up when your event is over? It's $20 per cart and includes the disposal fee!! More information and an application form is available online here.

It's a great option to be able to have all food waste and other organic material (e.g., paper plates, cups, napkins, corn-based utensils, etc...) stay out of the waste stream. Those who live in Linden Hills have our own green carts, but if you don't live in LH, you can rent one for an event! (You can also rent garbage and recycling carts for $20 each, including drop-off, pick-up, and disposal, using the same rental form.)

The Linden Hills Neighborhood Council rents organic carts from the city for organics collection for the Linden Hills Festival - to help the Festival be Zero Waste! (Speaking of which, we need volunteers to help monitor the disposal stations! Visit the volunteer webpage or email Laurie Foster at fosterfamilymn@comcast.net to sign up!)
