RECYCLING <br />ASSOCIATION <br />2022 Rain Barrel and Compost Bin Program <br />About the Program <br />The Recycling Association of Minnesota is a nonprofit dedicated to increasing recycling in <br />Minnesota to improve the social and economic health of our citizens, businesses, institutions <br />and future generations. Each spring, we (the Recycling Association of Minnesota) partner with <br />Soil and Water Conservation Districts, local governments, watershed districts, nonprofits, and <br />other organizations to provide rain barrels and compost bins made from recycled milk jugs and <br />other plastic resins at low cost to Minnesota residents.
