(Commercial Services Only)
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), 65 percent of total municipal solid waste generated in a community is waste from commercial businesses and institutions.
MinnKota Recycling is a locally owned full-service community based recycling service provider. We provide services for over 3,100 commercial locations, including the marketing and processing of recyclable materials for the cities of Fargo and Moorhead.
MinnKota Recycling is able to provide your business with an adequate number of collection containers (65 or 90 gallon) for the volume of recyclables collected. MinnKota can also provide individual cardboard containers to be used for paper recycling collection at copy machines, computer clusters or under each desk and workstation. MinnKota can also provide outside dumpsters for the collection of corrugated cardboard. As a service to you a MinnKota sales representative will provide a free review of your businesses waste stream and recommend the number of containers and service frequency needed for your recycling program. MinnKota’s collection services are available daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annually or as needed. A service agreement is set up detailing information which will provide the basis for all activities including service scheduling, invoicing, reporting, and customer service. MinnKota also provides monthly reports detailing the weight of all material picked up.
MinnKota actively promotes recycling awareness projects such as Earth Day, Arbor Day and America Recycles Day. Tours of the MinnKota Recycling facility are available by appointment. A MinnKota representative is also available for schools or community organization presentations pertaining to the recycling industry, its benefits and importance.
Why Recycle?
The common goal intended is to capture more material by placing a redemption value on recyclables. Americans generate just under 5 pounds of trash per day so we encourage you to recycle what you can. Remember, it doesn’t just save landfills, it saves valuable resources. And now…
