In 2025, the recycling program in the City of Crystal expanded to include the curbside collection of organics. Organics consist of food scraps and non-recyclable paper such as napkins and paper towels, and it will be collected weekly on the same day as residents’ trash. Organics should be put in a compostable bag. Compostable bags can be found in many stores such as Menards and Target. Compostable bags have the BPI logo on the box and bag. Paper shopping bags are also acceptable.
