During the month of November, The City of Fargo will partner with MinnKota Recycling to promote the “Cans to Cartons” Recycling Challenge.
MinnKota Recycling will provide a one-cent-per-pound match for all aluminum cans collected in November at The City of Fargo’s recycling sites (listed below).
Proceeds from the one-cent match will benefit the Milk and Elementary Snack Program in Fargo Public Schools. The program provides milk for elementary students for their mid-morning snack.
Aluminum can collection sites are located at:
• The Coliseum - 807 17th Ave. N.
• McKinley Elementary School - 2930 8th St. N.
• Water Treatment Plant – 1408 River Road S.
