At the end of 2025, 33% of eligible households were signed up for curbside organics recycling in Bloomington. If you haven’t signed up for organics recycling yet, spring is a great time to give it a try. Learn more and sign up at blm.mn/organics. Bloomington will hold a free composting facility tour later this month. Details will be posted at blm.mn/organics.
The City is also working to increase access to organics recycling. For apartment dwellers and those without space for another cart, a third organics recycling drop-off site is expected to open in east Bloomington later this year. The drop-off will be located near multifamily housing where curbside organics service is not available. As with existing organics drop-off locations, pictured above, registration will be required before use and the site will be free for Bloomington residents. The project is supported by $15,000 in grant funding from Hennepin County, and the new location and opening date will be announced soon.
