St. Louis County Trash Collection and Recycling

St. Louis County Government's Trash District Implementation Team has finalized its proposal to upgrade waste hauling services for one- and two-family homes and multi-family dwellings with individual curbside waste collection service in unincorporated residential neighborhoods. Key developments include:

A total of eight trash districts have been established in unincorporated St. Louis County.
Minimum level of service, including once-a-week trash removal, once a week recycling and twice-yearly bulk pickups, is now in effect.

In February, March, and April of this year, the Saint Louis County Department of Health delivered more than 105,000 complimentary recycling carts to all one- and two-family residences in unincorporated Saint Louis County. The department is now coordinating an exchange and removal process for residents who either don't want the complimentary cart they received or who would like a different-sized cart than the one they received. PLEASE NOTE: THE DEADLINE FOR REQUESTING A CART EXCHANGE OR REMOVAL IS MONDAY, JUNE 30TH, 2008. NO REQUESTS RECEIVED AFTER THIS DATE CAN BE HONORED. IN ADDITION, THERE ARE NO REMAINING 35-GALLON CARTS. NO ADDITIONAL REQUESTS FOR 35-GALLON CARTS WILL BE ACCEPTED. Dept. of Health's Waste Management Branch site
Subdivisions with an active form of governance that Opted Out of the trash districting program earlier this year, may now opt back in if their governing body so chooses. See Subdivision Opt In Form below.
