Batteries no longer accepted in Minneapolis recycling

By

Citing a potential for fire hazards, Minneapolis officials said Tuesday that batteries will no longer be accepted in recycling picked up from residential properties, effective immediately.

Rechargeable batteries, lithium batteries and items containing batteries, such as electronic cigarettes and cellphones, are no longer allowed in city garbage and recycling carts, the city’s solid waste and recycling office said.

Alkaline batteries, including single-use AAA and AA sizes, can be thrown in the residential garbage carts.

The move comes a few weeks after Hennepin County ended battery recycling at city and county buildings, libraries, schools, and community centers after an active vaping pen started smoldering in one battery recycling receptacle, forcing the Westonka Library in Mound to call the fire department.

MPS Comprehensive District Design Survey

By

MPS Comprehensive District Design Survey

Understanding the values of the Minneapolis Public Schools community is vital to creating the best possible Comprehensive District Design. We invite anyone who has students enrolled at our MPS schools to complete a survey that focuses on the student placement process. The deadline to complete the survey is October 7th. 

MPS is also engaging with other key stakeholders, including students, teachers, and school leaders to understand how they navigate the student placement or student request process. This project is one way we are digging deep to better understand our systems and structures as we create a Comprehensive District Design. The information gathered from this project will be shared at the November 26th Board of Education meeting.

Stay tuned as there will be other opportunities to engage in conversations about the Comprehensive District Design process this fall. Broader input on Comprehensive Design elements will become available in October and throughout the school year.
