MNCC Residential Organics Recycling Toolkit

Launching on November 6 at

On November 6, after our Annual Meeting, the MNCC will launch its Residential Organics Recycling Toolkit.



The Toolkit is a free resource available to the public. In it, you will find editable resources, photos, and videos, and campaign assets that you can use for your organics recycling program. New elements will be added even after the official launch.

You can also follow Love to Compost on Facebook.

Compost your Pumpkins

It’s pumpkin season once again! After your Halloween and fall celebrations are over, give your pumpkins and gourds new life by composting them.

First, remove all candles, paint and glitter. Then, set your pumpkin out for collection in your curbside organics program or bring it to a participating drop-off or event.

Here's a resource for a number of city's and counties that provide collection options: Link to list of drop off events and location.

Don't see your community listed? Reach out to your city or county for more information on options.
