The City of Columbia Heights entered into a three-year contract extension with Advanced Disposal Services, Inc. (formerly Veolia Environmental Services), on January 1, 2015 for garbage and recycling. The hauler will pick up residential refuse, provided it is placed in the proper container. Please follow this link to Advance Disposal's website.
Please call Advanced Disposal Services at (763) 225-8705 or contact them via email if you have been missed on the collection route or for other service issues.
Trash Collection
Three service levels are offered to residents:
Container Size Service Included
- 32 Gallon Limited service with Christmas tree and (1) appliance/year
- 64 Gallon Limited service with Christmas tree and (1) appliance/year
- 96 Gallon Full service with extra bags, furniture/bedding, Christmas tree and (1) appliance/year
All collections are weekly. Additional material (not to exceed the equivalent of three containers) or large items, such as furniture, are included as part of the 96-gallon “Full Service” level.
To ensure timely pickup of bulky items such as furniture and mattresses, please call (763) 225-8705 to arrange for collection. Items must have come from the property.
Multi-dwelling properties cannot have additional garbage or rubbish outside of the containers at any time, except for large items such as furniture.
Residents with alleys should place their garbage and recycling carts and any extra items at the alley line for pickup.
Residents that do not have an alley should place their containers at the curb on their scheduled collection day. Garbage and recycling materials should not be brought to the curb until the evening before the scheduled collection day and should be retrieved that same day. Carts need to be set behind the curb, NOT ON THE STREET. Once the trash has been picked up, please remember to remove your refuse and recycling carts from behind the curb and return them to the garage or somewhere out of site from the street.
