Hey! We are becoming more and more sustainable! Check this out.
Exciting news! From September 3 through November 30, we're offering a FREE new program that can turn your food scraps into something valuable. All Red Wing residents can drop off food scraps at the Waste Campus (1873 Bench St.), free of charge, with proof of residency. To learn more, visit https://www.red-wing.org/1155/Food-Scraps-Drop-Off-Site
During this time, the City is also running a curbside food scraps collection pilot in the Burnside South neighborhood. Eligible households have been notified and are encouraged to sign up and participate. To learn more, visit https://www.red-wing.org/1154/Food-Scraps-Collection-Pilot-Program
Did you know that about one-third of Red Wing’s waste is food scraps? Instead of incinerating them, we can turn these scraps into nutrient-rich compost that benefits gardens, improves soil, and supports local ecosystems. This program is funded by the City of Red Wing and a grant from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. Together, we can make Red Wing more sustainable!
