Several years in the making, the City of St. Louis Park's organics and yard waste recycling program is finally set to kick off.
The first 90-gallon carts will be collected on October 1, according to a post on the city's website. The city has already started taking sign-ups for the program, which will cost subscribers $40 per year.

According to City Council documents, the program was launched with the intent of reducing the amount of waste the city sends to landfills every year.
