Ramsey County asked residents how to improve household hazardous waste (HHW) services. After analyzing feedback, the county plans to restructure the HHW program to better serve residents.
Plans include:
- A year-round recycling, HHW and electronics drop-off site and an expanded product reuse area at the new Environmental Center.
- An additional permanent HHW site and a pickup program.
- More improvements as the county pilots projects and works with the community to redesign HHW collection and other services.
Learn more about our current HHW system and what community members told us they want in the future.
The Environmental Center includes electronics (e-waste) drop-off. The county partners with Repowered (formerly Tech Dump) to offer free electronics recycling for Ramsey County residents only.
E-waste from businesses and out-of-county residents is not covered through this partnership, but is accepted by Repowered for a fee.
