St. Cloud Recycles

The City of St Cloud offers curbside recycling. Participation is the key to a successful recycling program.
The City supports single-stream recycling because of the convenience it allows residents. The Blue Carts allow convenient co-mingling of recyclable paper, plastics and metal in one cart. No sorting means everyone can easily do their part.
