The City of Mahtomedi is very concerned about the environment. The city has a very extensive recycling, compost and green program in effect for all citizens. Curbside recycling is done by single-sort for residents. Pick up days are scheduled every other week on the Monday of your collection week and should be placed by the curb by 7:00a.m. The convenience of single-sort recycling containers lets you put everything recyclable in one container rather than sorting them in separate bags. Other items you can recycle include electronics, household hazardous waste and tires. Refuse collection in the city is open-hauling, meaning you can choose any hauler you want. Simply look in the yellow pages. For more information about recycling and refuse, call the Mahtomedi city offices at (952) 890-1100.
