Hold Businesses Accountable

As individuals, we can do so much together. However, we cannot underestimate the power that business and commerce plays in creating barriers to sustainability. I compost at home but I don't have the option to do so at work. As someone who works in food service, it is so hard to watch things that I know would make beautiful and wholesome soil get thrown into the trash. Can the city require composting in restaurants?

Hi Carlyn, 

Hennepin County does have an ordinance that requires some businesses to manage food scraps separately from trash. I am linking a "how to comply" guide below that explains which businesses must separate their food scraps and how to be in compliance with Ordinance 13.  https://www.hennepin.us/-/media/hennepinus/business/recycling-hazardous-waste/organics/how-to-comply-guide-2019.pdf

If you find that your workplace should be in compliance, the county has some assistance that can help it get started! Check out https://www.hennepin.us/businessorganics for more information on grant programs, free signs and stickers, and educational materials.  

Here's a direct link to get in touch with our business recycling specialists with any questions or for advice.
