Commercial Recycling & Organics

Commercial Recycling

If your business is interested in starting a recycling program Hubbard County can help.  

Why should your business recycle?

There is substantial cost savings associated with a business recycling program.  The cost savings came from a reduced annual waste assessment fee.  Additionally, if you are getting your trash hauled you can save money by having your trash hauled less frequently or by reducing the size of your dumpster. 

How can I get started recycling? 

Contact the Hubbard County Solid Waste Department by calling 218-732-1468 or emailing solidwaste@co.hubbard.mn.us.   Hubbard County will help by providing bins and education.  Once your recycling system is set up you will be able to see substantial savings. 

Hauling

In addition to providing bins and education Hubbard County will pick up your recycling and haul it away for no charge. 

What can be recycled by the county?

  • Glass
