Adopt-a-Litter Container application form

Thank you for your interest in the City of Minneapolis’ Adopt-a-Litter Container Program, administered by the Division of Solid Waste and Recycling. Litter containers (LCs) are placed at appropriate locations throughout the City for pedestrians to use for the reduction of street litter in high traffic areas. Any private or other use of a public litter container is in violation of City Ordinance and is a breach of this agreement. The following are requirements for adopting a LC:

A. The adoption period is for a minimum of two (2) years.

B. The Adopter agrees to maintain plastic liners (bags) in the LCs at all times and keep the surrounding area clear of snow, ice, litter and other refuse.

C. The Adopter will work in partnership with the City to maintain the physical condition of the LC. If the LC suffers graffiti, the Adopter will either remove the offense or contact the Clean City Coordinator for assistance. If the LC is damaged, the Adopter will contact Solid Waste and Recycling on (612) 673-2917 for repairs or replacement.

D. Select one of two levels of service for the litter container(s):

1. The Adopter will remove filled bags from the litter container and place them in their garbage cart or waste dumpster whenever the LC is full

- or -

2. The Division of Solid Waste and Recycling will service each LC for a monthly fee: $12.00 for once-a-week pickup, $24.00 for twice-a-week pickup and $36.00 for three-times-a-week pickup, etc., plus tax on your monthly utility bill.

E. Either party may cancel or make changes to this agreement with a 30 day written notice of intent. The Adopter accepts the terms of this agreement as authorized by the signature in the appropriate space on the application form. Due to requirement for special equipment to handle the litter containers, delivery time cannot be given in advance.
