City of Red Wing Food Scraps Collection

Starting Tuesday, September 3, and running through November 30, the City of Red Wing will conduct a curbside food scraps collection pilot program in a designated neighborhood to assess its feasibility.

Households that have been notified that they are eligible to enroll in the program will collect food scraps in specialized compostable bags, which can then be placed in their curbside trash for weekly collection.

There is no cost to participate in this pilot.

For residents not eligible to participate but interested in collecting their food scraps, a food scraps drop-off bin will be available at the Solid Waste Campus located at 1873 Bench Street.

Residents are encouraged to drop off their food scraps at this location. This service is free of charge for residents with proof of residency.

This pilot program is funded by the City of Red Wing and a grant from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
