Woodbury Woodbury has an open collection system which allows residents to choose any hauler for their MSW and recyclable material collection services, provided the hauler is licensed by the City. Recognizing the truck vehicle traffic impacts to its neighborhood roads, the City now requires new developments to contract with a single hauler. St. Paul St. Paul has always had an open MSW collection system. Between 1970 and 1980 the City provided a municipal hauler as an additional option for residents to subscribe to among the other existing private haulers.

At the end of this year Blaine issued a competitive request for proposals for the residential collection services of the City. The new contract was awarded to Veolia ES Solid Waste (Veolia). The City does not anticipate changes in the service options to residents nor do they anticipate fees to increase. Below is a list of items that are included in the new contract.

Veolia will be purchasing new equipment including carts made from recyclable materials and more environmentally friendly trucks. Veolia must provide tonnages to the City on a monthly basis. If this information is not reported, the City may withhold payment. Veolia will be paid $35,000 annually for public education.

Any tipping fee/processing rebates are given to the City in their entirety as the City pays the tipping fee directly to the processor.

Minneapolis The city of Minneapolis has continuously been involved in some form of City-wide organized collection since at least 1902. In the early 1970's, the City decided to develop a split system in which approximately half of the City would be serviced by municipal crews and the other half would be serviced by a contracted hauler.
