Fuchs Sanitation will start using an automated garbage collection system and each household must have one automated garbage tote. Two tote sizes are available, 64-gallon or 95-gallon. Extra totes are available at an additional cost of $5.00 per tote, per month.  We ask that you contact City Hall at 218-584-5254 with your preferred tote size by May 1, 2025, or else the hauler will only deliver a 64-gallon tote.

Curbside Collection:
Garbage totes should be placed at the CURB (not in the street and no longer in the alley) the night before your collection day to ensure pickup. Garbage totes should be placed within 4 feet of the curb line, and at least 3 feet from any obstacle to include extra garbage totes, mailboxes, snowbanks, and vehicles. Do not place garbage totes on top of snowbanks or in the street.  Be sure the lid is closed; all garbage is contained in the tote and place the tote on the curb so the RED arrow on the lid point towards the street.  Garbage on the outside of the tote WILL NOT BE PICKED UP.

Storage of Garbage Totes:
Store your garbage totes in an enclosed building, or for exterior storage, place neatly against either the back or side of the structure with lids fully closed. Your garbage tote should be moved off the boulevard as soon as possible after collection has been completed. If your tote is damaged or lost, you will be charged $100.00 for a replacement tote.  Garbage will not be picked up until your replacement garbage tote has been paid for.
