Recycling in Minot, North Dakota

Minot Sanitation picks up household waste twice a week on Monday and Thursday or Tuesday and Friday routes, and the Monday or Tuesday pickup alternates between trash and recycling. Recycling goes in a 95-gallon blue-topped cart: plastics #1, #2 and #5, cans, paper and cardboard, but no glass. The landfill runs a year-round household hazardous waste drop-off and exchange.

Frequently Asked Questions

What goes in the blue recycling cart in Minot ND?

Minot's cart takes #1, #2 and #5 plastic bottles, jugs, tubs and lids, aluminum cans, steel and tin cans, flattened cardboard, paperboard, mixed office paper, junk mail and newspaper. Rinse containers first. Collection replaces one garbage pickup every other week. Set the cart out the night before or by 6:00 AM on collection day.

Does Minot recycle glass?

No. Minot's curbside program does not collect glass. Glass bottles and jars go in the brown garbage cart. City recycling staff sort out glass and other wrong items before loads ship to the material recovery facility in Minnesota, so keep it out of the blue cart.

Can I recycle plastic bags in Minot?

Not in the cart. Plastic bags, bubble wrap and film jam the processing equipment, and recyclables must go in loose, never bagged. Take plastic bags to Walmart, CashWise or Marketplace, or to the Minot Public Library, which also collects them.

Where do I take household hazardous waste in Minot ND?

Use the permanent household hazardous waste drop-off and exchange facility at the landfill, open year round, winter included. Stop at the scale house just inside the gate and staff direct you. It takes residential quantities of paint, stains, varnishes, solvents, oil (up to 15 gallons), pesticides, herbicides, car care products and cleaners, plus antifreeze, fluorescent bulbs and batteries. Reusable items sit on the exchange shelf, free to anyone.

Where can I recycle electronics in Minot?

The city's two-day household hazardous waste and e-waste collection at the Public Works building, 1025 31st St SE, takes TVs, computers, printers and tablets from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM both days. It is free for City of Minot Sanitation customers and also takes paint, gas cans, chemicals and propane tanks. For asbestos and other hazardous materials, call 701-857-4140.

Who gets curbside recycling in Minot?

City of Minot Sanitation customers get a cart. If your garbage cart is brown with City of Minot on the side, you qualify. Apartment buildings and modular home parks are not part of the program. Duplexes and triplexes do not get carts automatically; the property owner must opt in.

Recycling tips for Minot

•Keep carts a few feet apart and within 3 feet of the roadway.
•Minot runs Spring and Fall Clean-up weeks; the landfill takes waste free from city garbage customers those weeks if you bring a copy of your water bill.
•For large items between clean-up weeks, schedule a pickup time with the Public Works Department.
•Minot owns the carts and tracks them with RFID tags, so report a stolen or damaged cart to the city for a replacement.
•Ask the city to swap your recycling cart for a smaller one if 95 gallons is more than you need.
