Residential Trash & Recycling Services
Residential Trash & Recycling Pickup
Harter’s Disposal Provides Residential Trash & Recycling Waste Services in the Southeast Minnesota Region
Fully Automated: An automated collection is a thoroughly proven method for collecting garbage and recycling. It is used by more and more municipalities. Each home is provided with special carts which are easy to roll and place curbside on the designated collection day. Garbage trucks equipped with a lifting device will lift, empty and return the carts to the same spot. The operator never has to leave the truck cab and controls the entire loading operation from inside the cab. The entire process takes about 15 seconds to complete.

One Truck for Both Trash and Recycling
Our split body trucks keep our refuse and recyclables separated by using 2 individual compartments with simultaneous packing. This allows us to save on route costs and reduce our carbon footprint by eliminating the need for another truck to pick up the recyclables.
Trash & Recycling Can Sizes: 95 gallon & 65 gallon
