Elk River is here to help you be more sustainable and reduce your waste in 2020. One way to do this is through our free, voluntary organics recycling program open to all residents. Program participants are asked to keep food waste including meat, dairy products, coffee grounds and more in special bags out of the typical trash collection carts and then drop them off at designated dumpsters in Elk River. When you sign up for the program you’ll get a year’s worth of organics recycling bags shipped to you at no cost, and while supplies last you’ll also be able to pick up a free bin to make at-home organics recycling collection even easier! Elk River’s two disposal sites include City Hall (13065 Orono Parkway) and the Elk River Compost Site (19000 Proctor Road).
