For more than 12 seasons, Republic Services has been the proud waste services partner for the Minnesota Twins, helping them create a seamless and sustainable experience for every fan who walks through the gates at Target Field. We do this by ensuring recycling and waste operations run flawlessly behind the scenes. Through timely and reliable pickups, we help the ballpark operations team focus on what they do best.
Targeted Solutions
We thrive to make recycling easy and intuitive for the fanbase. A key part of this effort is the co-branded educational signage on receptacles throughout the stadium. These helpful decals remind fans what can and can’t be recycled. This is especially important, because the Twins staff hand-sorts materials before they are compacted, and cleaner waste streams make that process much more effective. We provide the Minnesota Twins with monthly weight reports, showing every haul and exactly where it went. This precise data is not just for tracking progress; it’s a critical tool that the organization depends on to help them with their LEED certification. This commitment to clear and accurate reporting is one of the many ways we help our customers make good on their own environmental goals.
Keys to Success
- Smooth recycling and waste operations
- Reliable equipment maintenance
- Supporting fanbase education
- Comprehensive reporting helping the Twins reach their sustainability goals
