Current Recycling Rate in MN The recycling rate was calculated in 10 different ways using various data sources. The recycling rate was calculated in 10 different ways using various data sources.

SCORE MN recycling rate for all materials has remained between 40% and 45% since MN recycling rate for all materials has remained between 40% and 45% since SCORE data is not beverage container specific, but trends and progress can be shown. Dates back to SCORE data is not beverage container specific, but trends and progress can be shown. Dates back to 1993.

Capture Rate Study. Hennepin County collaborated with the City of Minneapolis to complete a capture rate study in Curbside data with 870 random homes selected in 69 of the 81 neighborhoods of Minneapolis. : The curbside recycling rates for beverage containers : Metal Cans 29.32% Plastic Bottles 30.59% Glass 51.45% The curbside recycling rate for all recyclables was 44.47% Most accurate curbside recycling rates, recommended by MBA Consultant.
