Millions of candy wrappers not making it to the trash bin!
Candy belongs in your bucket. Wrappers belong in the trash! 🗑️ Most candy wrappers are made of mixed plastic and foil, so they can't be recycled curbside. Keep Halloween fun, not littered. 👻

🔥 Dem-Con has been partnering with local fire departments to share an important message: lithium-ion batteries don't belong in the trash or recycling. They can cause dangerous fires. Skip the bin and turn them in for proper recycling.

🍕Pizza boxes are recyclable, and that's good news because Americans use millions of them every day. Just make sure any leftover pizza, liners, or food scraps are removed before tossing the box in the recycling bin.
♻️ Recycle right and give those pizza boxes a second life!

Shovels in the ground digging up excitement for a brand-new clean energy project in Minnesota! Our team was excited to dig up dirt for a groundbreaking to kick off a renewable natural gas project that will transform food and yard waste collected from Twin Cities’ community members into locally produced and lower carbon energy. Working with @Dem_Con and Kanadevia Inova, this made-in-Minnesota RNG will flow through CenterPoint’s system as early as 2027 to heat homes and businesses with locally made renewable energy.
The initiative is part of CenterPoint’s five-year innovation plan to invest in renewable energy and cutting-edge technologies to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions for our customers and advance Minnesota’s cleaner energy future.
