It replaces the old hazardous waste collection facility, which was kind of hidden under a bridge, on Empire Street, just off of Jackson Street near downtown.<\/p>\n<p>At the old facility, it wasn\u2019t unusual to end up in a line of 3 to 12 cars and to have to wait in line for a short time to drop off waste. At the new facility in Roseville, there is a very long line and wait. I asked about it on my first visit and was told that there isn\u2019t always a long line. On my second visit, several weeks later, there was a long line.<\/p>\n<p>The facility is large and new and modern, but doesn\u2019t appear to be designed to handle the demand. Perhaps it is already obsolete? Maybe in planning, the county did not anticipate the demand.<\/p>\n<p>I try not to buy anything that I may later have to dispose of at the hazardous waste collection site, but some items like batteries and electronics are necessary. For information about disposing of hazardous waste in Ramsey County, just ask Google. I would include a link, but government agencies like to rearrange websites, leaving me with dead links.<\/p>\n<p>There is often a long line at the yard waste drop-off sites. In fact, there have been a couple of times when I have had to turn around and head back home because I did not allow enough time to wait in line. The yard waste sites take fewer items, leaving us to figure out new ways to dispose of tree stumps and brush.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28049\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 910px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stpaulrealestateblog.com\/images\/2025\/11\/longline1.jpeg\" rel=\"lightbox[28048]\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28049 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stpaulrealestateblog.com\/images\/2025\/11\/longline1.jpeg\" alt=\"Long line\" width=\"900\" height=\"495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stpaulrealestateblog.com\/images\/2025\/11\/longline1.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/www.stpaulrealestateblog.com\/images\/2025\/11\/longline1-500x275.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/www.stpaulrealestateblog.com\/images\/2025\/11\/longline1-768x422.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">Long line at Ramsey County Waste Collection Site<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28050\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 910px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stpaulrealestateblog.com\/images\/2025\/11\/longline2.jpeg\" rel=\"lightbox[28048]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-28050\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stpaulrealestateblog.com\/images\/2025\/11\/longline2.jpeg\" alt=\"Long Line\" width=\"900\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stpaulrealestateblog.com\/images\/2025\/11\/longline2.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/www.stpaulrealestateblog.com\/images\/2025\/11\/longline2-500x240.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/www.stpaulrealestateblog.com\/images\/2025\/11\/longline2-768x369.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption wp-caption-text\">Long Line at the collection site<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>You can\u2019t tell from the picture, but there are actually two lines that merge together near the building.
