Recycling & Energy (R&E)

Ramsey/Washington Recycling & Energy (R&E) is the organization through which Ramsey and Washington counties (Minnesota) collaborate to responsibly manage our waste. Through R&E, the counties strive to protect health and the environment and meet the state’s 75% recycling goal by 2030. R&E offers programs to help residents and businesses reduce waste and recycle better. R&E also manages the R&E Center, which processes all trash from the two counties to recover valuable materials and divert waste from landfills. R&E’s vision is vibrant, healthy communities without waste.
