Background and Rationale

body

The Recycling and Energy Board will be providing an update on the rollout of the Foods Scraps Pickup program.

 

Ramsey/Washington Recycling & Energy is governed by the joint powers Ramsey/Washington Recycling & Energy Board (R&E Board), which is comprised of commissioners from the two counties, as well as two ex officio members from the City of Newport and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. Each county designates an alternate commissioner to serve on the board in the absence of a county’s representative board member.

 

The Food Scraps Pickup Program is a new way for residents of Ramsey and Washington counties to recycle food scraps from home for free. It’s an efficient and cost-effective method of collecting food scraps from residents’ homes.
