The Macalester-Groveland Community Council, with the support of the MN Pollution Control Agency, has been hosting a series of community conversations about our trash hauling system in the City of Saint Paul. Currently, each household is responsible for contracting with a trash hauling company individually. An alternative system of “organized collection” would allow the City of Saint Paul to negotiate contracts with trash haulers on behalf of residents. Organized collection does not necessarily mean just one trash hauler for the entire City. There are several ways that this system could work, including supporting multiple hauling companies. Many cities that have implemented organized collection have achieved greater efficiency, increased services and/or decreased costs.
How to get involved:
- Take our brief survey before June 7 to share your thoughts about trash collection in the City of Saint Paul. Visit macgrove.org/trash to take a 5 minute survey and be entered in a drawing to win a $50 Mississippi Market gift card.
