Very Small Quantity Generator Collection Program
The VSQG collection program is now located at Ramsey County's Environmental Center in Roseville.
The Very Small Quantity Generator (VSQG) collection program helps businesses dispose of small amounts of hazardous waste, such as solvents, paints, used oil and fuels.
- A VSQG generates 220 pounds (22.5 gallons) or less of hazardous waste per month.
- Participants self-haul their waste. This is not a pickup program.
