We want to know how you manage your cardboard recycling.

Use of the Carver County Environmental Center has grown in recent years with more visitors and more materials dropped off. The increase in visitors and materials is likely due to the County’s rapid growth and changes in material composition. One of the largest areas of growth, cardboard recycling, has created storage limitations, safety concerns, and traffic congestion. The trend is expected to continue, and staff is looking at strategies to maintain safety and streamline the movement of people and materials.

Please take this short survey on how you manage cardboard to help us make informed decisions about future Environmental Center operations.

Thank you for your input!
