Olmsted County Public Works issued the following announcement on April 27.
Garbage and recycling don’t stop for #COVID19. Waste haulers continue to collect garbage and recyclables. The Olmsted Waste-to-Energy Facility is still operating 24/7 to handle our garbage. The Kalmar Landfill is processing bulky items into fuel and depositing non-burnable waste. Materials recovery facilities are sorting out recyclables collected at the curb. The demand for paper and cardboard has increased and plays an essential role in the supply chain.
Manufacturing plants are still operating to turn those materials into new products.
These services are an essential part of the response to the pandemic.
