  • RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMER INFORMATION

    For your convenience, we pick up your garbage and recycling on the same day. Please make sure you have your containers out no later than 7 a.m. on your pick up day & 6am on Holidays

    Put your cart on one side of your driveway and your recycling bin on the other, as illustrated below.

    We provide heavy-duty carts for our customers' use and convenience. Severe damage or destruction of our carts will be assessed to your account should it go beyond normal wear and tear.

    Do not put yard waste, ash or hazardous wastes in the carts. Ash is especially dangerous as it retains heat many days later. Stearns County Environmental Services suggests ash be used in gardens or spread on fields to replenish soil minerals.

    Customers are responsible for notifying our office of service transfers and cancellations. Unless you call to notify us in advance, you will remain responsible for accrued monthly charges. Upon cancellation of services, you will be notified of the date containers (cart & recycling bins) will be removed. If we are unable to recover our containers on that date, your account will be assessed. Upon return of our containers, those charges will be reversed.

    Do you need a large item picked up? Give our office a call to schedule a special pick up. *Pick up fees may apply.

    Grass and leaf pick up service within the city limits of Albany, Avon and Melrose begins in April and runs weekly through November (weather permitting). Yard clippings should be bagged or boxed, weighing less than 50 pounds; branches should be bundled, with branches less than 3 inches in diameter and no more than 3 feet long.

    Customers outside the city limits of Albany, Avon or Melrose can drop off their yard waste at our Sauk Centre facility for free.
