Christmas tree disposal:

Maroney’s will accept 1 tree per household for no charge. If you have more than 1 tree, additional trees are charged $5 per tree. Please cut trees over 6 feet tall in half.

Don't throw out hot ashes please!

It's that time of year again! When the weather starts to get cold, everyone enjoys a cozy fire. Please remember when you are ready to get rid of those ashes, let them cool completely before giving them to your trash hauler. Hot ashes can easily start a garbage truck on fire.
Yard Waste and Leaves:

Beginning 1/1/2010, the State of Minnesota (statue 115A-931) has banned the use of plastic bags for composting.  If you want to place your grass and leaves out for collection, you must use compostable bags.  Maroney's currently charges $2 per bag to collect yard waste placed out in compostable bags.  These bags can be purchased at most home improvement and local hardware stores.  If you do not use compostable bags, arrangement can be made for pickup, however there will be an additional de-bagging charge.  More information about the law and compostable bags can be found here.
Please do not use regular plastic bags for compost.  If you use plastic bags as shown in the photo below, we have to manually de-bag them.  You will be billed up to $1 per bag ($3 per bag total) for us to de-bag.

Where can I drop off:

Hazardous waste.
Disposal Disclosure:
Maroney's Sanitation disposes of all non-recyclable waste at the waste to energy facility in Newport, Minnesota.  At the RRT plant, garbage is processed into a burnable fuel.  This burnable fuel called RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel) is then burned for electrical generation.  This process prevents more than 90% of your trash from going to a landfill.
