cityofardenhills.org • March 2025 • 3 cityofardenhills.org • March 2025 • 3 New Recycling Hauler Beginning May 5 Beginning May 5, 2025, the City will be transitioning to a new recycling hauler, Walters Recycling and Refuse, located in Blaine. Following a comprehensive Request For Proposals (RFP) process, the City is pleased to be partnering with Walters for a 5-year contract for the collection of residential recyclable materials. This transition will be seamless for residents as you will continue to use the cart you already have and recycling collection days will remain the same (properties on the South side of I-694 are collected on Tuesdays and properties on the North side of I-694 are collected on Wednesdays). Stay tuned! You can expect to receive an informational mailer from Walters at the beginning of April that includes a 2025 holiday and recycling calendar, a recycling guide, information about their free app where you can sign up for pickup reminders, and company customer service contact information. We are excited for this new partnership and look forward to working with Walters Recycling and Refuse.
