Just about as clean as a dump could be too (there's gonna be flies with garbage no matter what). They have signs posted everywhere that will tell you exactly were you drop off just about anything. Today I dropped of a broken TV, a car full of cardboard (clean, never touched food) for recycling, and some old ammunition (at the hazardous waste section). If we didn't have free refuse disposal with our rental, I'd bring everything over here and save some money.

For example when I called Waste Management, the rep I spoke to asked how many bags of trash we have per week, then tried to upsell me on the already significantly more expensive container. We are only two people producing maybe 2 bags of trash per week, so I immediately became suspicious when the WM rep told me I needed the 3rd size up from the smallest. Green Planet lady was happy to give me the smallest size container and it's been fine so far! We've only had pickups twice yet, the first time they were a day late but the second time they came when they were meant to.

Funny they match exactly; I think they are colluding on the price. The only other Trash Disposal company I found here in in Rochester, MN., was Green Planet. Based on a review here on Yelp I was expecting a better price, unfortunately the quoted price was actually higher by 25% ($98 v. $75/quarter). I'm not sure how they stay in business, I guess they hope you don't price shop. . Regardless, it seems I'm stuck with Advanced Disposal for now.

This is just my 2nd week of pickup. I had my trash can out by 4 am. When I checked it at 8 am,…read morethere was 1 13 gallon trash bag gone from the can, but about 85% was still there. I tried calling the office, got a message saying they're all on the phone, to continue to hold, press '1'. Pressing '1' takes me to a prompt to leave a message. If you're closed, just say you're closed. I would love to know if there is another trash company serving Rochester other than Waste Mgmt. Update - after being contacted by the company, they offered to send a truck back out to pick up the rest of the trash, and by 4 pm, it was picked up, and empty. I probably would have updated to 4 stars because of the difficulty in contacting the company, especially the option of remaining on hold but instead being sent to voice message, but I was VERY grateful for them offering to come back out.
