Neighborhood Cleanups

If you don’t live in Saint Paul, see our A-Z Recycling and Safe Disposal Guide for Ramsey County or call your city to inquire about community cleanup events.

Neighborhood Cleanups

pickup truckNeighborhood cleanups are one-day events that occur that occur in the spring or fall in most Saint Paul neighborhoods. Cleanups allow Saint Paul residents to get rid of hard to dispose of items at a lower cost than what they would pay at a transfer station or other private business. Eureka Recycling works with Saint Paul’s district councils to promote recycling and reuse at cleanups, diverting about half of collected materials from disposal.

Residents can only bring items to the cleanup in their own neighborhood.

Use the map below to determine which neighborhood or district you live in, then check the list below to see if a cleanup has been scheduled in your neighborhood. For details on fees charged and items accepted, call your district council.
