Recycling Programs
Winona County is committed to continuous improvement and programs that will increase recycling rates and provide recycling opportunities for all county citizens. Of the waste generated by the county in 2021, 48% of it was recycled. Meaning, Winona County has exceeded the state mandated recycling rate of 35% by weight for county’s outside of the metropolitan area! Currently, staff efforts are focused on cleaning up the recycling stream by reducing contamination of items such as plastic bags and Styrofoam. By doing so will reduce long-term program costs, so please review the Acceptable Recyclables List carefully.
