What Can Be Recycled?

To ensure your items are processed correctly and safely, please follow these guidelines. Items do not need to be crushed, but please rinse all food and beverage containers clean.
  • Glass Bottles & Jars: Clear, green, and brown bottles and food jars (remove lids and caps).
  • Plastics: All plastic containers numbered 1 through 7 with a neck (remove pumps and metal handles).
  • Metal & Aluminum: Tin cans, aluminum beverage cans, and clean metal food containers.
  • Paper & Cardboard: Corrugated cardboard, newspapers, magazines, catalogs (under 1” thick), and mixed office mail.

Convenient Residential & Commercial Recycling Services

Doing your part for the environment should be simple and seamless. At Waste Partners Inc., we make recycling easy by providing convenient curbside collection for homes and custom recycling programs for businesses throughout the Lakes Area.

Our reliable single-stream recycling systems mean less sorting for you, keeping more recyclable materials out of our local landfills and protecting our beautiful lake communities.

Curbside Residential Recycling

We offer convenient, scheduled curbside collection of recyclables in many neighborhoods across Crow Wing and Cass Counties. In select communities, we supply large, easy-to-manage single-stream recycling carts, allowing you to place all your acceptable recyclables into a single container with no advanced sorting required.

Rural Drop Site Services

For our neighbors living outside our standard curbside service routes, we proudly maintain and service a vast majority of both the Crow Wing County and Cass County recycling drop-off sites, ensuring everyone in our rural communities has a place to recycle.

Commercial Recycling Programs

Boost your business's sustainability and lower your overhead. We offer custom commercial recycling options that often generate direct savings on your monthly bill by removing heavy recyclables—like corrugated cardboard and paper—from your general waste stream.
