Below are some notes from neighbors who have worked with haulers that serve the neighborhood or information that we have gathered. The small local haulers we know of who serve St. Anthony Park are: Highland Sanitation & Recycling, Gene's Disposal, Mudek Sanitary Hauling, and Krupenny and Sons. AW/BFI and Veolia are not locally owned, Aspen is Twin Cities-based but is much larger than the other local small haulers. If you have more information, please send it to us.
Highland Sanitation & Recycling Inc. - 651-458-0043
The following information is from a neighbor who lives on Ludlow south of Blake.
Here is what they sent me but also some additional facts that I know because we have been customers for so long and have had excellent service. To receive their block rate, they would like 75% of families on the block to sign up. They did give it to us without quite 75%, maybe because they knew I have worked on it for some weeks.
- Family run company located in St. Paul - no answering machines during business hrs - a real person answers the phone
- Prices guaranteed for one year - these are totals for one month, no fuel charges nor administration fees added on.
- If you have a bit more some weeks, there is a $2.50 charge per garbage bag.
- Yard waste must be bagged in the recyclable paper bags, per our new regulations.
- You will not be charged if you notify them ahead of time that you are going on vacation or will be out of town on day of pickup and don't need service
- New customers receive the 6th and 12th months free the first year.
- They provide the cans at no extra charge, or you may use your own
- They will take Christmas trees
- Your cans will be put back where they found it with covers on

I would just add that AW/BFI’s reaction to our inquiry was to negotiate with me while trying to get neighbors behind my back to sign longer term contracts at their existing rates. They also falsely told a neighbor they had a signed commitment from the neighbor she couldn’t get out of. When the neighbor asked to be sent a copy of this document, the AW employee admitted it did not exist. They were by far the sleaziest company to deal with.
