The Hennepin County Solid Waste Management Plan will detail how the county implements state policy to reduce waste, increase recycling and advance a zero-waste future. It is written to respond to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s Metro Solid Waste Policy Plan with a 20-year vision and updated every six years.

The foundation of this plan will be the county’s Zero Waste Plan, developed in 2023 to meet the county’s goal of diverting 90% or more of waste from landfills or incinerators. The county further prioritized the highest impact zero-waste actions in the Plan to Reinvent Hennepin County’s Solid Waste System to accelerate the closure and repurposing of the Hennepin Energy Recovery Center (HERC).

Follow along to stay informed on the process to advance zero-waste in Hennepin County.
