The 4R Program

Ramsey County established the Reuse, Recycle, and Renovate for Reinvestment Program - the "4R Program" for short - in April 2010. Its mission is two-fold: 1) to promote productive reuse of old building materials from deconstructed buildings in order to keep those materials out of landfills thereby minimizing the effect on our natural resources and environment, and 2) to renovate dilapidated structures back to being appealing, taxable properties with an emphasis on using sustainable building practices and incorporating sustainable components in each renovation project. Through this mission, the 4R Program reduces the County's eco-footprint and promotes livelier, healthier neighborhoods.
