During winter and heavy snow conditions, garbage must be placed on the corner of the driveway, free from obstructions and accessible to the crews.
A monthly charge per dwelling unit is added to each resident's water bill based on the size of the waste cart.
- 35-gallon cart is $14.72/month
- 65-gallon cart is $16.72/month
- 95-gallon cart is $18.72/month
This amount includes the cost of collecting household quantities of residential garbage and the cost of burying that garbage in the City of Minot Landfill. Fees are based on the current operating budget and are adjusted periodically to reflect the cost of service.
City crews do not pick up debris from new home construction. New home construction covers the first year from the time the water is turned on. All waste generated by a contractor will be the responsibility of the contractor or occupant.
All construction, demolition debris, along with bulk items left behind by tenants at an investment/rental property during the time of no tenant occupancy, are the responsibility of the property owner and cannot be placed on the curb for pick up by sanitation crews.
Trucks and trailers that haul debris to the landfill must be hydraulically lifted. No winch and trailers allowed.
Only trees and hedge trimmings cut by the homeowner will be picked up curbside by a separate truck. Trees cut by anyone other than the homeowner will not be hauled by the City.
