Recycling & Solid Waste Removal

Each year over 3 million tons of household and business garbage is managed in the Twin Cities. Only 50% of this is recycled, and the amount of garbage going into landfills is increasing.

Lakeland implemented a single-stream recycling program in 2014. Recycling is picked up curbside every other Wednesday by Maroney's Sanitation. Materials are processed by Eureka Recycling. Please see the pick-up schedule for recycling below, along with other pertinent recycling information.
