This new facility will make it easier for residents to reduce, reuse, <br />repair, and recycle. <br />Located at 1700 Kent Street in Roseville, the year-round facility will <br />have: <br />• A household hazardous waste (HHW) drop off. <br />• Electronics, food scraps, and general recycling. <br />• A free product reuse room. <br />Please note that the existing mobile HHW collection sites will not <br />continue after 2024. However, the year-round HHW facility at Bay West in Saint Paul will continue to serve you until <br />services transition to the ESC. For more details, visit ramseycounty.us/ESC. <br />Note: the mobile HHW collection site is coming to Arden Hills one final time! During the month of July, you can utilize <br />the mobile collection site at 1352 Ben Franklin, Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. <br /> Electronics Recycling <br />Ramsey County has partnered with Repowered to offer recycling of televisions, computers, <br />and devices that connect to them, such as DVD players, keyboards, and printers, for FREE.

Ensure your car doors <br />are always locked, windows are fully closed, and valuables are removed or hidden. Utilize <br />anti-theft devices such as steering wheel locks or alarms, and park in well-lit, secure areas <br />whenever possible. You should never leave your vehicle running unattended, even for a brief <br />moment. And remember always to trust your instincts. As you walk away from your vehicle, <br />do not walk in directions or areas that make you feel unsafe. By remaining vigilant and <br />following these simple steps, we can significantly reduce the risk of vehicle theft and keep our <br />neighborhoods safe.
