Public Works - Curbside Recycling Program
Duluth was the first in the State to implement a weekly multi-material curbside recycling program. With community involvement and support, this program continues to surpass each year's expectations. Duluth residents regularly divert over 25% of our curbside waste away from landfills. Place your bin at the curb before 7:00 A.M. each Wednesday morning for collection.
