The City of Saint Paul partners with zero-waste non profit Eureka Recycling to provide weekly recycling service to all Saint Paul households.
New residents do not need to set up service - simply place your blue recycling cart out for collection by 6:00 am on your collection day.
For more information or to report a missed pick up, contact Eureka Recycling at 651-222-7678 or info@eurekarecycling.org.
