Trash & Recycling

Vadnais Heights is divided into two zones for trash service and recycling services. Each zone has a hauler/recycler assigned to handle the residential pick-ups and billings. The use of zones helps to minimize the wear and tear on streets and provides for better coordination of this service.

The hauler/recyclers are Republic Services (formerly Allied Waste), and Waste Management (WM). If you have questions on services or billings, please contact your hauler directly. Please call City Hall at 651-204-6000 if you do not know which hauler your house address is assigned for service.

  • Republic Services: 320-252-9608
  • Waste Management: 952-890-1100

Collection Day
