Recycling

Walter's Refuse and Recycling picks up recycling every other Monday in Osseo. Place your recyclables together in your green and yellow cart at curbside (or alley, if alley pickup). This is your Recycling Guide.

If you are an alley resident, recycling containers must be placed on the west side of the alley for collection.  (If you are an alley resident, garbage containers must be placed on the east side of the alley for collection.)

Organics Recycling is as Easy as 1 2 3. You and your household can help our community convert food waste and food-soiled paper into nutrient-rich compost that fortifies lawns, flower beds, backyard, and community gardens, small vegetable and berry farms and rain gardens.

Recycling in commercial buildings 
Property owners with any commercial building, including multi-family buildings, in Hennepin County must begin collecting recycling as of January 1, 2016.
