City of Fargo and MinnKota Recycling Partner for November ‘Cans To Cartons’ Recycling Challenge

During the month of November, the City of Fargo will partner with MinnKota Recycling to promote the “Cans to Cartons” Recycling Challenge. 

MinnKota Recycling will pay a one cent per pound match for all the aluminum cans collected at the MinnKota Redemption Center and the City of Fargo recycling drop sites during the month of November.

The one cent match proceeds from the aluminum cans will benefit the ‘Got No Milk’ programs with the Fargo Public Schools. The ‘Got No Milk’ program provides milk for elementary students for their mid-morning snack.

Drop sites are located at:

·         Coliseum  807 17th AVE N

·         McKinley  2930 N 8th ST

·         Water Treatment Plant – 1408 S River Road

·         Longfellow Elementary School – 20 29th Ave N

·         Michelson Field – 901 Oak St N

·         Centennial 4201 25th ST S

In 2018 the City of Fargo collected 555 pounds of aluminum cans and donated $166.55 to the Got No Milk program at the Fargo Public Schools. This donation helped provide 476 cartons of milk for students.
