St. Cloud trash pickup: cost and carts
City of St. Cloud (single-family, duplex and triplex homes). Billed by: City utility bill, every two months.
| Cart | A month | A year |
|---|---|---|
| 95-gal cart | $42.71 | $513 |
City cart fee $32.50 (it includes the solid waste tax) plus the $9.30 monthly pass-by fee with Minnesota's 9.75% solid waste tax. Households without a cart use City green bags at $2.25 each plus the pass-by fee.
Ways to pay less
- Garbage bags instead of a cart. The City sells 30-gallon City garbage bags at $2.25 each; a pass-by fee still applies on the utility bill. How: Buy 10-bag packages; bag service is an alternative to the weekly 90-gallon cart.
