Education

Recycle Well

To make recycling truly sustainable we must educate people on the process, benefits and capabilities of the MRF Both young and old can benefit and find out what it truly means to Recycle Well. Recycle Minnesota counts on all of you to RECYCLE WELL. We work closely with local government and national organizations to develop best practices when it comes to recycling. We promise to do our best to educate the public on the best way to put recyclables into your curbside container. If you want to learn more on how to RECYCLE WELL, we offer 2 options:

Recycle Minnesota Learning & Training Center (LTC)

In our LTC you can learn about what materials can be recycled and how the materials are processed through our state of the art recycling facility. An overview map allows visitors to see an overview of how the material moves through the MRF. Our interactive map allows visitors to view a short video and narrative of each area of the MRF.

LTC Tours are currently not available (updated 1/3/2023)
