Abstract: In order to meet ambitions statewide goals for a significant reduction in landfill waste, the state of Minnesota has proposed that communities in the Twin Cities metro area recycle 60 percent of their waste and divert 15 percent of waste for organics recycling by 2030. With existing data suggesting that the Twin Cities region currently recycles about 40 percent of its waste and diverts about 4 percent for organics recycling, the City of Saint Paul contracted with Wilder Research in 2012 to conduct a comprehensive assessment of their recycling and waste management system and explore opportunities for greater recycling, composting, and waste reduction. The assessment aims to further the City's understanding of recycling and waste disposal knowledge, behavior, and preferences among Saint Paul residents, to identify the most effective strategies to meet these waste reduction and diversion goals.
