Environmental service charge information
Garbage haulers in Olmsted County offer collection services with volume-based fees (meaning the more you throw away, the more you pay). Reusing and recycling can reduce waste and save resources. All Class A Haulers are required to offer recycling collection services to their customers.
All garbage haulers must also collect an Environmental Service Charge from their customers to help fund Olmsted County environmental education and waste abatement activities.
Self-Haul to the Recycling Center Plus
A Self-Hauler is a generator that does not contract with a Class A, Class B, or Class C Licensed Hauler but instead collects and transports their own solid waste to the Recycling Center Plus for disposal. A Self-Hauler shall not provide collection and transportation services to someone else for compensation.
If you have questions regarding self-hauling, please call Olmsted County at 507-328-7070.
