green bag in a trash can

Sign Up for Green Bag Organics

Wayzata residents can recycle their organics through the Green Bag Organics Composting System. With the Green Bag Organics program, residents can toss food waste, and food-soiled paper (pizza boxes and paper plates), into a Green Bag Organics BPI-certified bag.

Unlike most trash bags, these liners are made to be compostable. On trash day, residents then place the Green Bag inside their regular garbage cart for curbside pickup.
