The County Environmental Charge (CEC) is a tax charged by the county on your trash service. In Washington County, this is a 35% tax. In Ramsey County, it is a 53% tax! The Minnesota State Solid Waste Management Tax (SWM) is charged by the state of Minnesota on your trash service. It adds another 17% to your trash bill. So in Washington County, you pay a total of $52 in taxes for every $100 spent on trash service. In Ramsey County, you pay $70 in taxes for every $100 spent on trash service. That’s a lot of money! The more you recycle, and the less trash you generate, the lower the taxes will be on your garbage bill. Why? Because unlike trash, recycling, including commercial composting (organics recycling), is not taxed! When you are able to reduce the size and frequency of your dumpster service, not only do your costs go down, but so do your taxes. Read more HERE. Premier Sponsors
