Ramsey County’s VSQG collection program

Very Small Quantity Generators (VSQGs) are allowed to deliver their own waste in their own vehicle to a licensed VSQG collection program. This allows eligible participants to regularly dispose of small quantities of waste rather than accumulate it over a long time period. Although program participants pay disposal charges, the program is intended to provide a convenient, cost-effective disposal option.

Eligible businesses

• Must be located in Ramsey County.
• Must be currently licensed or in the process of being licensed as a VSQG or one-time generator.

Examples of acceptable waste

• Aerosols.
• Batteries.
• Fluorescent lamps & ballasts.
• Lab pack wastes (corrosives, poisons, pesticides, flammables).
• Latex and oil based paints.
• Vehicle fluids, like fuels, antifreeze, used oil and related wastes.
