Talking Trash: An Update on Northfield's Switch to Dick's Sanitation

Northfield Patch caught up with Joe Stapf, Northfield Public Works Director and City Engineer, to discuss the transition from Waste Management to Dick's Sanitation.

For this edition of Northfield 101, Northfield Patch caught up with Joe Stapf, Northfield Public Works Director and City Engineer, to discuss the transition from Waste Management to Dick's Sanitation. Effective Jan. 1, Dick's Sanitation is the new contract hauler for collection of refuse for Northfield residents. Residents should have received their new waste carts by now. Stapf says because the recycling carts are handled by Rice County, residents won't need to change out those carts. For Northfield residents who live in Dakota County, Dick's should have dropped off new recycling carts. Residents should begin using that new cart for all their refuse following their last pickup by Waste Management, which is this week. Following their last …

PHOTOS: Northfielders Dump Junk During Clean-Up Day

Garbage trucks stood at the ready at the city maintenance facility Saturday morning for the second of two city clean-up days this spring.

Northfielders lightened their loads at the city’s maintenance facility on Riverview Drive Saturday morning. The city’s second—and final—clean-up day of the spring was conducted Saturday, and residents brought carloads, truckloads and trailer-loads of refuse to be disposed of in Waste Management garbage trucks and recycling bins. Waste Management employees, wearing fluorescent yellow vests, stood at the ready to empty garbage cans and the contents of pickup truck beds into the fleet of trucks. Residents were able to drop off most of their junk free of charge. However, they paid fees for items like appliances, computers, TVs and tires. One Waste Management worker said the number of residents participating in Saturday’s clean-up seemed fewer …

Last Chance: City Clean-Up Day is Saturday

Northfield residents can drop off a variety of construction-related items and, for a fee, appliances, computers, TVs and tires.

Did you finish cleaning out the garage? How about the basement? Northfield’s second—and final—clean-up day of the spring is Saturday, May 12. Co-sponsored by Waste Management, the clean-up day allows residents (must show ID) to drop off items like sheetrock, lumber, brick, window glass and scrap metal. For a fee, residents can drop off appliances, computers, TVs and tires.  Items not allowed include paints, fertilizer, brush, batteries and liquids of any kind. Hours are 7 to 11 a.m. Some say this is an event as anticipated as as the Northfield Hospital Auxiliary Book Raid, Taste of Northfield and Defeat of Jesse James Days. This year the drop-off site has moved to the city maintenance facility, 1710 Riverview Drive. (Map on the right of …
