Your recycling goes to one company for 10 years Starting December 2026, all of Minneapolis's mixed recyclables will be processed by Eureka Recycling under a $5.9 million contract through 2036.
Recycling market shifts affect prices residents pay Locking in one processor for a decade means the city's ability to shop for better prices or switch if markets change is limited until 2036.
City stuck with one vendor if costs or quality slip If Eureka Recycling raises prices, misses deadlines, or a better processor emerges, the city cannot easily switch without breaking the contract or waiting until 2036.
Authorizing a contract with Neighborhood Recycling Corporation (dba Eureka Recycling), in an amount not toexceed $5,900,000, for a period of ten (10) years, from December 1, 2026, through November 30, 2036, for the processing, marketing and sale of 100% of the City's recyclable materials.
