Waste Haulers

If your company collects and transports trash in the 6-county metro area, which includes Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey and Washington counties, you must get an annual license from the county where your business is located. The license is called the Regional Mixed Municipal Solid Waste Collection and Transportation License. More information on licensing requirements in Ramsey County is in the Solid Waste Ordinance (PDF).

Companies that collect and transport construction and demolition waste do not need a license.

You can get a Regional Mixed Municipal Solid Waste Collection and Transportation License through the county where your company is located. A license in Ramsey County costs $50.00/truck for the license year, which runs July 1 – June 30. You can also get a license to operate in any of the other five metro counties (Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin and Washington) at no additional cost.
