St. Michael trash pickup: cost and carts
Residents choose and pay a licensed garbage hauler; no hauler price is included in the totals. Garbage haulers licensed by the City for 2026: Ace Solid Waste, Curbside Waste, Republic Services, Waste Management.
St. Michael residents pick their own licensed garbage hauler. The hauler's price is not included; add your hauler's bill. City recycling is counted separately.
