Curbside Recycling Service
Wayzata's curbside recycling service allows you to mix recyclables in 1 cart. Don't bag your recyclables, just drop them, unbagged, into the brown cart. The following items can be placed in the brown recyclables cart:
- Aluminum cans
- Cardboard
- Glass jars and bottles
- Mixed paper (including magazines)
- Newspapers (including inserts)
- Paper bags
- Plastic containers
- Steel cans
Recycling Symbols
All glass and metal containers are recyclable. But there may be some uncertainty about plastic containers. Plastic containers are marked (often on the bottom of the container) with a symbol that identifies if it’s recyclable. Plastic containers marked with the recycling symbol and with a number of 1-7 inside the symbol, are recyclable. Wine, soup and milk cartons (with the plastic spout removed) can be recycled. Styrofoam, PVC pipe, vinyl siding, plastic film (grocery bags and stretch film) are not recyclable. Learn more about recycling by reading our Single Sort Recycling flyer (PDF).
