The Partnership on Waste and Energy is a joint powers board of Hennepin, Ramsey, and Washington counties, Minnesota, formed to coordinate legislative and policy work on waste management and energy issues, including advancing an annual legislative platform and evaluating waste-processing technologies. As of 2025 its governing board has five voting members (three appointed by Ramsey County and two by Washington County) plus two ex officio members representing the City of Newport and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency; Hennepin County participates through a joint powers agreement with Ramsey/Washington Recycling & Energy, which provides administrative and staff support to the Partnership.
