Part of the City’s “All In” recycling program, the citywide cleanup events enable residents to properly dispose of large refuse items, recycle materials not collected in the curbside program and share usable goods with others. “This is another opportunity for residents to join us in going ‘all in’ to help make Saint Paul one of the most sustainable cities in the country,” Mayor Chris Coleman said. “We are committed to recycling and reusing as much of the materials collected as possible and believe these events help to inspire a better, more inclusive recycling program in Saint Paul.” Tires, appliances, scrap metal and electronics are all recycled, and bikes collected at the event are restored and returned to the road for re-use. Furthermore, the City supports a monitored re-use area for residents to share usable household items with others. Residents are invited to attend the cleanup events to recycle and dispose of large items such as: FurnitureConstruction materialsMattresses/box springsAppliancesElectronicsScrap metalAnd more The “All In,” program officially began in early April. In addition to the beginning of single-sort recycling and an expansion of the types of plastics now accepted, the program also aims to make it more convenient for residents to properly dispose of waste.
