Interested in reducing the amount of waste you toss into your trash can, minimizing your environmental impact, or saving money on your trash bill?
The Macalester-Groveland Organics Recycling Drop-off Site is now open to ALL Saint Paul residents! With a location just off of Summit and Snelling (in the Patagonia parking lot), it's convenient and economical to bringing your compostable organic waste, meat, dairy, bones, and non-recyclable paper to the Drop-off Site.
Joining the program is easy: sign up through the Macalester-Groveland Community Council office (located at the Edgecumbe Rec Center), pick up compostable bags at a local grocery or hardware store and start collecting food scraps, leftovers, nonrecyclable papers and much more.
The 2013-2014 registration fee is $28 for renewing members and $36 for brand new members. Your registration fee provides 24/7 access to the Drop-off Site through May 31, 2014 and covers the cost of hauling the organics to a commercial composting facility. Even better, there are scholarships currently available to those who meet income requirements!
