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 Allied Waste, and Waste Management (WM). If you have questions on services or billings, please contact your hauler directly.
- Allied- 763.784.2104
- Waste Management - 952.890.1100
Refuse is picked up every Wednesday, except for holidays. Recycling is picked up every other Wednesday, except for holidays. If your collection day falls on or after certain holidays, your service will be one day late that week.
Containers at Curb
Containers are to be curbside by 7 am on the day of pick-up, regardless of the weather. Refuse and recycling will be picked up by 7 pm on that day. Please do not place containers at the curb before Wednesday. Containers need to be removed prior to 10 pm on the day of pick-up.
Extra Trash
If you have extra trash, simply place additional bags next to the container. The haulers will include a charge for the extra items on the next invoice. For appliances, please check with the hauler before placing these items at the curb.
If your bill is paid by an association, you must use pre-paid stickers. The stickers may be purchased at City Hall for $1.50 per bag.
