Rethink Recycling Recycling can save your business significant money! Most business owners are unaware of the hefty tax on their garbage. In Ramsey County, garbage service for businesses is taxed at 70%, and in Washington County, garbage service for businesses is taxed at 53%. Although there are a lot of compelling reasons for businesses to do a better job of recycling, one of the biggest incentives is the potential to save money. There are simple things businesses can do to reduce their garbage expenses. BizRecycling offers free help from Recycling Experts to businesses in Ramsey and Washington Counties. These experts work with businesses to find ways to recycle more and produce less waste. This often results in significant savings on their trash bill. Contact Tom Snell at the White Bear Area Chamber for more information. Remember to Recycle! Premier Sponsors
