Collection is arranged by each city, not the county. Coon Rapids uses open hauling where residents pick a licensed hauler; Blaine contracts one citywide hauler. Every household must have garbage service, with weekly trash collection.
Anoka County oversees solid-waste policy but does not collect residential trash. Coon Rapids runs an open-hauling system with five licensed haulers; City Code 8-204 requires every residential household to have garbage service with a licensed hauler, solid waste collected at least weekly and recycling at least every other week, with collection allowed 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Blaine designates Walters Recycling and Refuse as the citywide hauler with weekly garbage, biweekly recycling, and tiered cart sizes. Confirm your city and hauler for exact days and rates.
Failing to maintain required garbage service is a city code violation, subject to notice and administrative or misdemeanor penalties.
