Commercial Users

The Stevens County Organics Program is currently reaching out to large waste producers in Stevens County. If your institution is interested in joining the Organics Program contact Sydney Bauer, program coordinator.

Organics for Commercial Users 

Organics for commercial users is simple and easy to set up, especially with grant funding from the MPCA. 

Participants simply collect their organics in a certified compostable bag, toss bags into the 64 gal Stevens County Organics carts (delivered by Engebretson Disposal), and have their organics picked up Monday and Thursday by Engebretson Disposal. 

The organics program is able to purchase new bins, containers, dollies, and bags for participants to use. If your institution is interested in participating, read on and contact Sydney!
