HOW DOES THE PROCESS WORK?

Start by calling 651.266.1199. A County staff person will contact you to answer questions, determine the needs of your organization, and connect you with an expert consultant. The consultant will conduct a free 30-minute waste assessment at a time that fits your schedule. Then the consultant will review results of the waste assessment and discuss options for designing a new or improving an existing recycling and/or organics collection program that meets your needs.

These options may include ways to make it easier to put more paper, plastic and metal in the recycling bin, or how to start a food waste recycling program. Ultimately, these changes could save you money by reducing the size of your trash dumpster or the frequency of pickup.

 

WHAT IS MY ORGANIZATION RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING?

The help of BizRecycling's consultants is absolutely free. If your BizRecycling consultant recommends starting a new service, such as a recycling or organics pickup service, organization would be responsible for paying the service just as you do for trash pickup. However, you may be able to save money by reducing your trash dumpster's size or its frequency of pickup.

Organizations in Ramsey and Washington Counties can apply for grant funding to cover this cost. They also offer grants to pay for the first couple of months of organics collection to help kick start your composting program. Learn more about BizRecycling grants. Ramsey County schools can apply for a School Recycling Bin grant.
