The Solid Waste Department is responsible for all solid waste services in St. Louis County outside of the Western Lake Superior Sanitary District (WLSSD). The Department encourages recycling; with its recycling rate of 57% far exceeding the state mandated goal of 25%. Solid Waste operates the St. Louis County Regional Landfill, five transfer stations, and 18 canister sites. The Solid Waste Department is an enterprise fund for St. Louis County. The Solid Waste Department currently contracts for Household Hazardous Waste and Very Small Quantity Generator business hazardous waste collections. The St. Louis County Board has adopted an Administrative Penalty Order which enables the swift and fair enforcement of illegal dumping of wastes. |
