could be finalized and approved by the Council before the end of the year. To
get it right we need your attention, input and help now.
Approval of this plan is a critical next step towards reducing waste and
reaching our goals to recycle and compost 50% of our overall waste stream by
2020 and 80% by 2030. Once approved it will be up to all of us to implement
it. For some strategies to be successful your continued and vocal support and
pressure could be vital.
To share the plan and gather feedback, I am co-hosting a community meeting with
my colleague Abdi Warsame THIS Thursday, September 14th from 6-8pm at Matthews
Park, 2318 29th Ave S.
We will provide an overview of the plan and plenty of time for discussion.
If you want to review the plan before the meeting, you can find it here

Mayor Hodges initiated the development of a zero-waste plan in her 2015 State
of the City address. In June of 2015 the Minneapolis City Council established a
goal to recycle and compost 50% of its citywide waste by 2020 and 80% by 2030.
The resolution also called to achieve zero-percent growth in the City’s total
waste stream from levels set in 2010. In 2015 the city of Minneapolis formed
the Zero Waste team to develop a plan to meet those goals and set new ones. And
now the city is has begun the drafting of a zero-waste plan. For more
