Ramsey County (Minnesota) runs free yard-waste drop-off sites and household hazardous waste (HHW) collection; bulky-item pickup is arranged through your city. St. Paul offers free mattress and bulky-item collection. State law bars yard waste from the trash.
Bulky and special-waste disposal is split between city and county in Ramsey County. Bulky items: St. Paul lets residents sign up for free mattress and bulky-item collection; other cities set their own bulky pickup or sticker programs. Yard waste: Ramsey County operates several free yard-waste drop-off sites (open to county residents with proof of residency), because state law prohibits leaves, grass clippings, and brush from being mixed with trash. Household hazardous waste and electronics: the county provides free HHW collection sites. For anything the county handles, no city permit is needed — bring proof of Ramsey County residency.
Illegally placing yard waste or bulky items in mixed trash violates state disposal bans (Minn. Stat. §115A.931); improper HHW disposal is enforced under state hazardous-waste law.
