April 15, 2024: Recycle Route A Collection and Ordering Additional Containers in Watertown

The Public Works' Solid Waste Division has announced that Recycle Route A will be collected during the week of April 15, 2024. This route includes areas north of 3rd Ave N, Lake Kampeska, and Derby Downs. Residents are asked to combine all recyclable materials in the provided tan container for bi-weekly collection.

Residents needing a recycling container can register at www.watertownsd.us or at the City Hall's Finance Office. If a second container is required, it can be requested through the website. The City of Watertown will deliver an additional Tan 95 gallon Single Stream recycling container upon request.

The Watertown residential recycling program is voluntary, with apartment complex participation at the manager's discretion. The city-owned recycling containers must remain at the registered address.

To ensure the program's efficiency and cost-effectiveness, residents are asked to only set out full containers and to exclude glass, which is not recycled and can cause injuries. Plastic container lids and caps should be removed before recycling to save space in the recycling bales.

Containers should be placed out after 5 PM the night before collection day. Collection begins at 5:00 AM, with no set time for specific areas. Containers should be removed the same day after collection. The City of Watertown currently has over 7,000 active Tan 95 gallon recycling containers throughout the city.
