Mixed Municipal Solid Waste Deposit Disclosure

updated: Monday, February 27, 2012

Minnesota Statutes require that we provide you with the following statement verbatim:

You may be responsible for any liability that results from contamination at a facility where your waste has been deposited. Minnesota believes that its waste management system provides substantially more financial and environmental protection than depositing waste in landfills in other states. Managing your waste in Minnesota may minimize your potential liability.

St. Louis Park's garbage hauler, Waste Management, only disposes of waste at facilities that are fully permitted and licensed. These facilities are fully compliant with all Local, State, and Federal regulations governing financial and environmental protection. Waste Management complies with specific disposal requirements found in their Service Agreements and County Waste Delivery Agreements. All of St. Louis Park's mixed municipal solid waste collected by Waste Management is disposed of at the following facility:

Hennepin Energy Resource Company (HERC)
505 6th Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55405
Type of Facility: Mass Burn Waste-to-Energy
