Food Scraps Pickup
You’ll soon have a new way to recycle food scraps from home! Ramsey and Washington counties are working together to bring a food scraps pickup service to all residents, with rollout beginning in 2023.
The food scraps pickup program is being tested with a limited number of households. Residents in the program pilot areas can sign up for the program during the time of the pilot and continue participating in the program as it becomes available to additional communities without interruption.
