Recycling Containers for Events

Make your next gathering a green event!

Reserve free recycling and food scraps containers to reduce waste. Containers come with bags and signage and collapse for easy transport. Containers are loaned to Ramsey County residents and organizations for any temporary event.

Containers can be borrowed from several cities and district councils. Check with your city or district council for more information.

If your city or district council does not offer recycling and food scrap containers, you can request them from Ramsey County.

Plan your event

When planning your event, try to limit the number of trash and recycling areas. To make sorting easier, place a recycling and food scraps container next to each trash can.
