Very Small Quantity Generator Collection Program

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.
  • This program is managed by Ramsey County and operated by Bay West.

Eligible businesses

  • Must be located in Ramsey County, AND
  • Must be licensed (or in the process of being licensed) as a VSQG, OR
  • Doing a one-time cleanout of less than 2,200 pounds (220 gallons) of hazardous waste. If you've had a one-time license before, you will need an annual license instead. A one-time license can be used only once.
