Solid Waste
In 2021, the enterprise municipal solid waste diversion rate increased from 2020, but is still below the pre-pandemic diversion rate. While recycling has remained stable, organics diversion decreased during the first year of the pandemic, but in 2021 some of that organics diversion returned.
Goal
Recycle and compost municipal 75% of municipal solid waste by 2030.
Accomplishments
Organics diversion rates have begun to increase as facilities with 24 hour operations returned to more normal operations.
The Moose Lake Correctional Facility entered into a contract with a hauler to increase the types of solid waste they could recycle.
Barriers
Recycling and organics infrastructure and haulers are lacking in Greater MN, where our largest masses of organics are generated.
Additional resources are needed at facilities with food service to divert organics, which may include technical assistance or on-site composting infrastructure.
Baseline
31% Diversion Rate
Current Value
30% Diversion Rate
