The Blue Earth County Property & Environmental Resources Department Waste & Recycling Division seeking public review on proposed changes to the County Solid Waste Management Plan
The Blue Earth County Property & Environmental Resources Department Waste & Recycling Division is seeking public review on proposed changes to the County Solid Waste Management Plan (SWMP). The SWMP is a planning document written by the County every 10-years to comply with Minnesota Statute 115A.46. This document acts as a guide for future waste & recycling management.
An open house event for public comment on changes to the existing waste management system suggested in the new Solid Waste Management Plan will be held on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, from 4:00 – 6:00 PM in the Historic County Courthouse 3rd Floor conference room at 204 S 5th Street, Mankato. A digital information session on the content presented at the open house will also be held via Microsoft Teams on January 23 at 2:00 PM.
The open house will include tabling by knowledgeable staff from various county-operated waste management facilities, including the Household Hazardous Waste Facility, the Ponderosa Landfill, and the Blue Earth County Recycling Center. A presentation will also be given on the overall status of the plan and next steps for approval and adoption of the Plan.
For more information about the Solid Waste Management Plan, along with links to the digital open house, visit the Blue Earth County Website at www.blueearthcountymn.gov/SWMP or call (507)-304-4251.
