Meet the Team

Around here, carts aren't just plastic bins—they're hardworking members of the Highland team. Rain, shine, snowstorm, or "why is it still snowing in April?" our carts are built to handle whatever Minnesota throws at them.

Not sure what size you need? Don't worry. Choosing the right cart shouldn't feel like a game show. We'll help you find the perfect fit.

Trash Carts

PICK YOUR PLAYER

35-Gallon Cart

Small but mighty. Perfect for lighter trash needs, smaller households, or folks who have recycling down to a science.

65-Gallon Cart

Our crowd favorite. Not too big, not too small—it's the Goldilocks of garbage carts.

95-Gallon Cart

For busy households, big clean-outs, or anyone who seems to produce trash faster than they produce leftovers.

Recycling Cart

The Worthy Sidekick

Every recycling cart is the same cost. When in doubt go a size up - cardboard boxes have a way of multiplying when nobody is looking.

Yard Waste Cart

Turning Leaves Over Since Day One

Our seasonal yard waste service includes a 65-gallon compost cart plus 10 paper compost bags each collection week.

Grass clippings, leaves, weeds, and garden leftovers are all welcome. It's basically a spa day for your yard debris.

Cart Etiquette (Minnesota Nice Edition)

Help your carts have a successful collection day:

✔ Have carts at the curb by 6:00 AM(5am for rural customers)

✔ Leave about 3 feet of space between carts and obstacles.

✔ Keep the lid closed whenever possible. Nobody likes chasing runaway garbage.

✔ Face the wheels toward your house.

✔ Bring your carts back in after collection so they don't become neighborhood decorations.

Need a Different Size?

Families grow. Kids move out. Online shopping habits happen.

If your cart is overflowing every week—or feeling a little too roomy—give us a call. We'll help you find a better fit because your garbage service should work for you, not the other way around.

Does Your Cart Smell Like a Teenager's Hockey Bag?

If opening your cart makes you question your life choices, it might be time for a fresh one. Whether it's smelly, stained, cracked or just plain tired, every Highland customer gets one FREE cart exchange per calendar year. Give us a call, and we'll have a cleaner cart headed your way!

What Makes Highland so great?

We're not a giant corporation with a call center three states away. We're your neighbors.

We've been doing this Minnesota-style since 1950: showing up, working hard, answering the phone, and treating customers like family. Because at Highland, customer service isn't extra—it's part of the pickup.
