Normal Operations for Saint Paul’s Residential Garbage and Recycling Services
Protecting public health and safety is a top priority for the City of Saint Paul as we work with our haulers to minimize community spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). Garbage and recycling services will continue as normal. Maintaining regular garbage and recycling collection is an essential city service. We continue to work with Eureka Recycling and the St. Paul Haulers to monitor and minimize any potential impact to service.
Please note, residents may experience limited interruptions or delays in call-center customer service support as the recycling and garbage companies move their call center staff to working remotely to protect the health and safety of their employees. These customer service delays will be temporary. If you are unable to reach your hauler, please try again later in the week. If residents have immediate questions, call the City’s garbage line at 651-266-6101 or email garbage@stpaul.gov.
