Join the Midway Local Food Resource Hub

Get $45 worth of seeds and seedlings for as little as $10! Become a member of the Midway Local Food Resource Hub by filling out the application here. The Midway Hub is a community-based network of residents, organizations, and businesses in the northwest portion of St. Paul that support each other to grow, cook, preserve, and compost their own fresh produce. 

 

Recycle it Forward

The City of Saint Paul invites you to shape the future of waste management in St. Paul.  Recycle it Forward, a community-based waste m­­­anagement assessment project, is your opportunity to give input and share your ideas relating to waste management programs and services (e.g. recycling, composting, bulky items, and trash services).  For more information, to follow the process, or to share your ideas, visit the Recycle it Forward website.

 

HMC Waste Management Task Force

Over the next few months, Hamline Midway Coalition will develop a set of recommendations on the future of waste management in the City of Saint Paul as part of the Recycle it Forward assessment project (see above).  HMC is seeking individuals interested in discussing the future of waste management in some detail and formulating a set of recommendations for consideration by the HMC Board of Directors.  This will entail 2 to 3 meetings, most likely on weekday evenings.  If you are interested, please e-mail Michael Jon Olson at HMC no later than April 5.
