Some Garbage Haulers Temporarily Stop Additonal Services During Coronavirus

Press release from the City of Richfield:

April 3, 2020

Due to COVID-19 concerns and capacity issues, some garbage haulers have declared a temporary stop of additional services such as yard waste and bulky item pick-up. Please check with your hauler to confirm if and how this might affect your household.

For now, please hold onto these items at home if you can, and dispose of them properly after the stay at home order is lifted or when haulers accept these items again. Do not try to drop them off at donation centers as they are also closed. Depending on the item, there are some landfills and transfer stations still open for disposal – call ahead to confirm that they are open and accepting from the public.
