Metro counties must detail how they will implement the state agency’s 20-year plan for reducing waste, boosting recycling and sending less trash to landfills.
Hennepin County’s plan includes improving curbside organics pickup, pre-processing waste to keep recyclables out of landfills, limiting single-use items and developing a more sustainable purchasing policy.
Comments received before Sept. 5 will be considered before county officials finalize their solid waste plan and submit it to the state.
