Business Recycling Survey

The Ramsey/Washington County Recycling & Energy Board is working to improve the rate of recycling by area businesses.  They are conducting a survey on recycling and solid waste management with businesses that operate within the two counties.  Answers to the survey will be used for planning purposes only - to help the Board develop strategies for connecting businesses to technical assistance and recycling resources.  Your insight will ensure the programs match business needs and expectations.
