About This Center

Through Ramsey Washington Recycling Energy (RE), Ramsey and Washington counties aim to protect health and the environment while striving to meet the state's 75% recycling goal. RE views waste as a resource and focuses on extracting maximum value from discarded materials. The center offers deconstruction grants to support projects involving the dismantling of buildings for material reuse. Additionally, the Business Pollution Prevention Program assists businesses in transitioning to modern, high-efficiency equipment. Visitors are encouraged to participate in the Food Scraps Pickup Program to recycle residential food scraps and can also benefit from BizRecycling, which provides technical assistance and grant funding to reduce waste. The center processed 389,705 tons of trash in 2024, recovering 11,569 tons of metal for recycling and producing enough fuel to power 12,878 homes for a year while reducing CO2 emissions by 99,893 metric tons. The Partnership on Waste and Energy (PWE) facilitates collaboration among Ramsey, Washington, and Hennepin counties on waste and energy management, including policy development and legislative advocacy.

Chris Harding (1/5 stars, 2 months ago): Bait and switch scam. I took a picture of the scammer who wouldn't give my card back to me and had had to call the police out to get my card back for me. Always use Lloyds Dump Services instead. It's a longer drive but will cost 100$ instead $400.

Abdullahi

Abdullahi (1/5 stars, 4 months ago): It's was my first time to go to this place. I had a friend recommend me to go there to get rid of a few items. I met an elderly lady at the gate she asked from what city we came from and I honestly answered Minneapolis. She asked us to turn back and go to some other places. That was discouraging. I won't tell you not to go but if asked about the city you came from find to say what they may accept. Please don't lie for my words. It's your responsibility to be a person of high integrity.

rental home (1/5 stars, 3 months ago): They don’t answer their phone ever. Not clear at all on their site what they accept. I will head over with a truck load of stuff. Hope I don’t have to leave it in their parking lot.
