ACE Solid Waste has been operating from their Ramsey facility for the past two years. However, due to business economic decisions, construction of the transfer station has not been initiated. City Code requires a conditional use permit to be obtained in order to operate a transfer station of mixed solid waste and recyclables in Ramsey and ACE Solid Waste properly applied for the conditional use permit in 2000.
