Plastic Bags & Plastic Wrap Collection

Help Anoka win a free park bench!  Since plastic bags and plastic wrap are NOT allowed in your recycling cart, here’s an opportunity to recycle them to help the city earn a free park bench made from recycled plastic materials through NexTrex!

Now through Nov. 12, 2021, a collection box for plastic bags and plastic wrap (see acceptable types pictured below) is available at Anoka City Hall in the lower level just at the base of the stairs.  Drop these items off M-F, 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. (regular business hours). 

No need to remove labels on packaging or zippers on sealable storage bags. 

Our goal is to collect 40,500 pounds of the plastics shown. 

NOTE:  All dropped off plastic bags and wrap MUST BE DRY AND CLEAN – any contamination will ruin the entire collection and our efforts. 

Call 763-576-2725 or email pbowman@ci.anoka.mn.us with questions. 

Thank you for assisting us in this effort!
