How to Recycle

Proper waste management starts with recycling.  Future increases in waste charges will be due to the costs associated with proper waste management as well as long-term monitoring and clean up of contaminated ground water.  It makes sense to recycle as much of our waste as possible to reduce our future costs.  In addition to rising costs and waste volumes, the production and use of disposable products wastes raw materials and energy.

Beltrami County has two categories for recylcing:
