RECYCLING & WASTE

Organics Recycling/Garbage Hauler Billing Information:

• The Hennepin County Commissioners adopted Ordinance 13, which requires all cities in the County to ensure that curbside organics recycling is made available to all residential properties in each municipality.  Rogers must comply with this ordinance or the County will implement a program and charge the City directly, to be paid by utility/recycling customers.

• In order to ensure organics recycling is provided citywide as required by the County, we will need to license all residential garbage haulers and require that they offer curbside organics recycling to their customers in Rogers.

• Billing by garbage haulers for those organics services is complicated by the fact that State Statute requires haulers to charge the same monthly rate to all of their customers within a given city, whether or not a specific customer actually uses the organics service.  So a customer who chooses not to request an organics recycling cart and does not use the service must, under state law, be charged the same monthly rate as a customer who does request a cart and actively recycles organics.

• Each garbage hauler may have a different rate than their competitors, but each will be required to charge their chosen rate to all of their residential customers, regardless of participation.

• Note that this City has not officially implemented this requirement for haulers to date, but we understand that many haulers have begun to implement the changes in order to comply with the County ordinance.

• We realize that many residents who choose not to use their organics recycling service will find these hauler chargers to be unfair, but this issue is not within the control of the City of Rogers.  Residents may want to contact the County to express their opinion on Ordinance 13.

There are a number of options for recycling and disposing of your yard waste, electronics, organics, and other materials.
