Proposed Materials Recovery Facility
Recently, Olmsted County received some funding from the State of Minnesota to build a Materials Recovery Facility for recycling processing. The County continues to seek additional funding and is in the process of planning the MRF build. This option would provide a much closer location for sorting recyclables and would also include equipment to clean garbage before it is processed in the waste-to-energy facility. At this time, the County indicates April 2025 for project completion
