Maple Grove, a suburb of Minneapolis in Minnesota's Hennepin County, will launch a new curbside organics collection program managed by Republic Services, a Phoenix-based waste and recycling firm, beginning Jan. 6, Hoodline reports.
Residents already participating in organics recycling with their waste hauler automatically will be transferred to the new city program. Those who would like to begin organics recycling are encouraged to sign up through the city of Maple Grove by Dec. 13 to ensure cart delivery before program rollout.

A mandatory charge for organics collection by waste haulers will cease when the program officially begins. Instead, households will find organics recycling charges consolidated with their utility bill, which the city says is an effort to simplify payment responsibilities.
Curbside collection of organics will occur on a weekly basis, aligning with the city’s existing recycling schedules.
