2016 Recycling Law 
WHAT IS THE LAW? A new state law requires most commercial buildings – including many businesses, sports venues, restaurants and churches – to recycle starting January 1, 2016.
HOW CAN YOU TELL IF THIS IMPACTS YOUR BUSINESS? If you currently have a contract to remove 4 or more cubic yards of waste, AND if your business is located in the 7-country Twin Cities Metro area (Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott, or Washington counties), AND your business is classified in sectors 42 to 81 under the North American Industrial Classification System, you are required to recycle.
If you don’t own the building where your business is located (you rent your space), but do meet the other requirements, your building owner will be required to comply with the law. If you handle your own waste hauling program for your business that is located in a space you rent, it is a good idea to begin or continue a recycle program.
WHAT MUST BE RECYCLED?
Businesses must collect a minimum of three recyclable materials. These materials include, but are not limited to, paper, glass, plastic, metal and organics (food scraps and other compostable materials, such as paper napkins and biodegradable packaging). You may also be able to have a “single-sort†collection, as long as you collect at least three materials and your hauler accepts single-sort materials.
HOW DO I GET STARTED?
Each business is unique, and produces different kinds and amounts of waste and recyclable materials. When deciding what materials to recycle, consider what will work best for your employees and customers. Your hauler may be able to help you determine what containers you may need and how often waste and recycling should be picked up. By adjusting your waste collection program, you may save money on hauling fees and taxes.
