Saint Paul provides organized trash and recycling collection through a city-coordinated system with assigned haulers by area. Collection is weekly. Residents must use the designated hauler and follow placement guidelines for their collection day. The city also provides yard waste collection seasonally.
Saint Paul contracts with waste haulers or operates municipal trash collection on a weekly schedule. Residents receive assigned pickup days. Bins must be placed curbside by the designated morning time, typically 6 to 7 AM. Holiday delays shift pickup one day. Contaminated recycling bins may be skipped. Oversized or overweight bins will not be collected. Contact Saint Paul public works for schedule changes or missed pickup reports.
Failure to follow schedule may result in missed pickup. Repeated violations of bin rules may incur $50 to $200 fines from code enforcement.
