Please place your carts on a flat surface in your driveway, behind the curb line. Do not place them on top of snowbanks or in the street, as this interferes with snowplows and increases the risk of the cart being tipped over.

During extreme cold, waste can freeze to the bottom of the cart. To ensure a clean dump, we recommend placing a piece of cardboard at the bottom of the bin or using a broom handle to gently loosen the contents before your morning pickup.

No, hazardous materials cannot be placed in residential carts. But you can bring them to local county drop-off facilities. Find a facility near you in Anoka County, Sherburne County, or Chisago County.

We recommend bringing sharps to a community disposal site, such as the Anoka County Hazardous Waste Facility. But you can also place them in your residential trash cart if they are in a closed and taped puncture-resistant container (like a laundry detergent bottle) and clearly labeled “SHARPS.”

Yes! We can pick up refrigerators, washers, dryers, and other large items for a separate fee. Please contact us in advance to schedule a special bulk waste pickup.

We observe New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. If your day falls on or after the holiday, your service will be delayed by exactly one day for that week.

If your carts weren't out by 6:00 a.m., we may be able to come back and pick them up for a small fee. Please call us at 763-757-7100 to learn more. Alternatively, we can pick up extra bags for a fee on your next regularly scheduled day.

Absolutely. If you find your 64-gallon bin is too small or your 96-gallon is too big, contact us to swap it out.

No. Please place recyclables loose in the bin. Plastic bags get tangled in sorting machinery and are actually the #1 cause of recycling contamination.

No, shredded paper is too small for standard sorting. Please place it in a paper bag, staple it shut, and place it in your trash cart, or bring it to a local drop-off location for specialized recycling.
