Every owner of a multiple dwelling of 13 or more units or other units not serviced under the City contract for recycling services must arrange and contract for at least monthly collection of recyclables to include at least newsprint, glass (food and beverage), aluminum, steel, tin cans, and corrugated cardboard. A copy of the owner’s contract for recycling services must be submitted to the City in conjunction with the annual renewal of the rental license. HISTORY Amended by Ord. 1419 on 3/11/2024
Under Fridley City Code § 507.14, owners of multiple dwellings with 13 or more units — or units not covered by the City's own recycling contract — are required to independently arrange and pay for recycling collection at least once a month. The required recyclables include newsprint, food and beverage glass, aluminum, steel, tin cans, and corrugated cardboard. Proof of the recycling contract must be submitted to the City each year as part of the rental license renewal process.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners subject to § 507.14 — those operating buildings of 13 or more units or units outside the City's recycling service area — generally maintain an active, written contract with a recycling hauler that covers at least the six material categories listed in the ordinance. Compliant operators keep that contract current and submit a copy to the City annually alongside their rental license renewal. Letting the contract lapse or failing to include it with the renewal application can create a gap in licensing compliance.

Section § 507.14 establishes that tenants living in qualifying Fridley rental buildings of 13 or more units are entitled to at least monthly recycling collection for common materials such as glass, aluminum, cardboard, and newsprint. If recycling service appears to be absent or inadequate, tenants can inquire with the City of Fridley about whether the property's recycling contract was submitted during the most recent license renewal. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local rental licensing requirements can help residents understand what options may be available when a landlord appears to be out of compliance.
