Saint Paul - Ramsey County Public Health provides a diverse range of services as it carries out its mission to improve, protect and promote public health. We do this through our federal and state mandates to:

  • prevent the spread of disease,
  • protect against environmental hazards,
  • prevent injuries,
  • promote and encourage healthy behaviors,
  • plan and respond to health emergencies, and
  • assure the quality and accessibility of health services.

The Environmental Health Section at Ramsey County administers a number of grants including a school bins grant, a public entity innovation grant and an internal county grants program.

Public Entity Innovation Grant
This program provides financial assistance to public entities for the purpose of creating and implementing innovative programs to increase source reduction and residential recycling efforts, initiate residential organic management programs, expand public space recycling and address bulky waste management. Eligible applicants include municipalities, Independent School Districts, park boards, watershed districts, libraries and other public entities in Ramsey County. Public entities with creative ideas are encouraged to apply! Deadline is ongoing through the end of 2014.
