Survey Info - This survey was sent on behalf of the City of Plymouth to the FlashVote community for Plymouth, MN.
Curbside collection of food waste and other compostable "organic" material has been an optional service through trash haulers in Plymouth since 2022. Due to state law and county mandate, all Plymouth households will be charged for this collection service in 2024 – whether they use it or not.
Knowing that you will be charged for organics collection – and that participation requires an additional wheeled cart – do you expect to sign up for a curbside organics collection service in 2024?

With the state/county mandated charge coming and the potential for broader participation in curbside organics collection, the City of Plymouth is considering service options. Residents could continue to coordinate services and varying fees with garbage haulers, or the city could contract for organics collection with a single hauler (like curbside recycling), which may offer cost-savings and reduced truck traffic.
