Just a reminder, that garbage will be picked up in gilby and Arvilla tomorrow morning so make sure to have your garbage out! We hope you all have a great Thanksgiving! 😁

11/18/2022

With the Thanksgiving holiday next week, we will be picking up Thursday’s route on Wednesday the 23rd. All other routes will be run as normally scheduled!

11/14/2022

We are in the need for some part time workers. Mondays and Tuesdays are our biggest days and having a couple extra hands would really help. If you would be interested please feel free to reach out on here or give us a call at 701-869-2629. Mondays we do pickup Manvel so there is a lot cans to be emptied so if you are able to lift around 50 pounds would be great! There will be someone with you in the truck to help out for the heavier stops. Tuesday’s are a lot more country route so more dumpsters and such which we would train you in on the hydraulic operations on the truck and once again we will be there to help you along the way. If anyone has any interest in learning the ropes of a garbage person and how the routes work please feel free to reach out! It would be greatly appreciated.

Good morning everyone! We will be out today in Gilby and Arvilla! From there it’s still up in the air but we might end up over in the Warsaw/Minto area and get that done for tomorrow as it’s Veterans Day and the landfill closes early but we will have to see what the weather is like. If it’s too bad I’ll be sure to post something here later today.

11/09/2022

With weather looming over these next couple days be sure to watch our page for any updates as to what might happen for trash pickup. Some places may get picked up earlier than normal while others may have to wait it out. I’ll do my best here to keep everyone updated!

09/01/2022

We will be working on Labor Day this coming Monday, September 5th. As usual the landfill will close at 11am that day so some people along county 5 north of highway 2 will be picked up tomorrow, Friday, September 2nd. Everyone else should be picked up on Monday as usual, it just may be delayed while we go and unload before the dump closes. Thank you everyone! Have a great Labor Day Weekend!

07/03/2022

Just a reminder that we will be out and about tomorrow! Both Manvel and Mekinock will be picked up tomorrow morning as always! We did some of the rural route Friday afternoon. That was the only change we made. We hope you’ve had a fun weekend!!

06/30/2022

With the 4th of July landing on a Monday this year we have to do the Monday route a little differently. WE WILL BE WORKING MONDAY. The only change is if you live along Grand Forks county road 5 from US Highway 2 and north we will be picking you up tomorrow, Friday July, 1st. This excludes the Whip-Or-Will Lane/Lonesome Dove street housing addition by the airport (we call it Airport Estates) All other routes will run as normal! We hope you all have a fun and safe Fourth!! Happy Independence Day Weekend!!

06/17/2022

REMINDER: We DO NOT take used motor oil. We have drain holes in our trucks to get rid of the water that we pickup through the routes so if you’re throwing used motor oil in guess where it goes…all over your yard and your neighbors too! The same goes for WET PAINT. There are plenty of people out there that burn oil during the winter to heat their shops. If you have wet paint, please open the lids and let them dry out completely before you throw it away. We thank you for your cooperation! Make sure to drink lots of water and wear your sunscreen this weekend as it’s going to be a scorcher! 🔥😎

05/23/2022

We will be taking next Monday, the 30th off in recognition of Memorial Day. We will do all Monday routes on Tuesday the 31st. All other routes are normal. Thank you all!!🇺🇸

04/25/2022

With all of the moisture we have received over the weekend and with all of the overland flooding that’s been going on along with the soft and sloppy road, we most likely won’t be able to make to some places as we normally would. We will try our best but it’s probably best to stay on as many paved roads as we can for the time being. If you DO NOT want us in your yard please call us at 701-869-2629 or message me on here.

Thank you for your understanding.

04/17/2022

Happy Easter to all!! We hope you all have a wonderful time celebrating with family and friends. Just a reminder that we will be running as normal on Easter Monday. Another note to mention is we do have a family matter to deal with on Wednesday morning so we may be by your homes Tuesday afternoon if you’re on our rural route for the 3rd Wednesday week. It will work the same as last week where we came to the residential locations on Wednesday as normal. Only the rural route would be affected. We appreciate the cooperation! Have a wonderful Easter everyone!

04/14/2022

We will be out and about right away tomorrow morning! Sounds like the snow chances for tomorrow have gone down significantly. We will be doing the Thursday route and Wednesday route! See you all out there.

04/13/2022

As of right now, we are going to delay Wednesdays garbage pickup to Thursday. The Thursday and Friday routes as of right now will remain on schedule. The landfill is closed….actually the whole state is closed so we are too! Be safe out there everyone.

04/12/2022

As of right now we are unsure what we will do. I’ll make a post in the morning sometime. If we go it will be once it’s light out. Stay tuned here for any updates! Stay safe out there if you have to be out!

04/11/2022

Due to the threat of this incoming storm, we are going to be showing up early to some places this week. When we finish up our normal 2nd Monday routes today, we are gonna start on the 2nd Tuesday route. Depending on where you are located you may get picked up today, while the rest will be finished tomorrow morning. I’m planning on staying east of highway 18 for today. Then once I finish the rest of the route on Tuesday, I’ll start to grab some of the COUNTRY/RURAL stops for Wednesday. As of right now if you live in a housing development/trailer court we will plan to be there on your normal day. We are just trying to get somewhat ahead of it if possible! I’ll try to keep you al updated if anything changes!! Thank you in advance!

02/19/2022

Some of our Monday customers may notice that their garbage got picked up yesterday (Friday) or is getting picked up this Saturday morning. This is due to the fact that the landfill is closing at 11:30 on Monday for Presidents’ Day and I won’t be around Monday so I thought I would get my country route picked up before I left. I have someone filling in for me Monday so Manvel, as well as the development at the corner of County 5 and US Highway 2 will still be picked up as normal. We thank you for your cooperation and hope you all have a great weekend!

1st TUESDAY ROUTE:

We are thinking we should do you guys today this afternoon on our way home as they are talking some nasty weather starting later today and then the wind is suppose to be bad come tomorrow morning. Sorry for the late notice but we plan on doing our normal Monday routes then we will turn around after the landfill and head out to do our Tuesday routes as well. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. We will see you all out there!

Thank you for understanding.

We are enroute to Manvel! Just gonna get town picked up then we will get all of the country route tomorrow! See you soon!

12/27/2021

We have decided to wait a while before venturing out this morning. If we do make it out we may just go to the town of Manvel and turn around and come back home. Monday country route would be moved back a day to Tuesday. All other routes would be run as normal. Stay here for any changes or updates! Thank you for understanding

12/26/2021

As of right now we still plan to be on the routes tomorrow morning. We may be delayed till daylight but unless it’s really bad we will be out and about. Stay tuned to this page for any changes but as of right now we will be in Manvel tomorrow!

12/16/2021

With the holidays fast approaching we wanted to let everyone know what our game plan is to work around the holidays.

It helps that they come over the weekend! With that being said….All of our routes will be run as normal. The only exception is our customers around Minto and Warsaw. We will be getting you on Thursday afternoon after our normal routes as the landfill closes at noon Friday and we wouldn’t be able to get you picked up in time to make that deadline. We will still get our Forest River customers on Friday (Christmas Eve) as normal. Once again, ALL ROUTES ARE NORMAL ASIDE FROM OUR MINTO AND WARSAW CUSTOMERS who we will grab Thursday afternoon (December 23rd). Other than that, we hope everyone is staying safe and warm, and we wish you all a Happy Holiday season and of course, a very merry Christmas and a happy new year! Thank you All! 🤗🎄🎆

11/25/2021

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and your families! We are very thankful for each and everyone of you. We hope you all have a wonderful day celebrating!

We will never forget! Today we all need to come together and remember all of the lives lost on this fateful day 20 years ago. Pray for all of their loved ones and hold them in our hearts today, as well as each and every day.

09/03/2021

We will be laboring on Labor Day so make sure to have your garbage out on Monday!! We hope everyone has a great weekend!

07/03/2021

Good morning everyone!

We hope you all have a fun and safe 4th of July weekend full of celebration for this great country and our independence.

With that being said, it is important to know that Monday, July 5th we WILL be working as normal! The land fill closes at 11:30 for us that day so some of you that would’ve been due for pickup this coming Monday may have noticed that we were there yesterday to ensure we can get there to unload in time! Thank you all for understanding and being patient with us! We really do appreciate you all.

Happy Independence Day everyone! Until next time 🥳🇺🇸🎆

Good morning all!

To our Manvel residents. Next Monday is Memorial Day and we WILL be working so make sure to have your cans out for us so we can take them away. Remember this is a 5th Monday so we don’t have much of a country route at all. Just doing the housing developments and that’s it. Thanks and have a great week and Memorial Day weekend!!

Happy Easter everyone! We hope you have a blessed day.

Kidnapped 10-year-old saved by 2 sanitation workers on pickup route

Round of applause to these two hero’s!

Two Louisiana sanitation workers are being hailed as heroes for saving a 10-year-old girl who had been abducted from a family member's home.

Forest River and the rest of the first Friday week people don’t forget that we will be coming around tomorrow for your garbage as the landfill is closed New Years Day! We posted about it last week and put signs up and I’m sorry for the late reminder! Please share this post around to help spread the word! Thank you and Happy New Year everyone!!

12/21/2020

Good Morning everyone! It’s the start of the holiday week and it’s a busy one for us so we would like to bring everyone up to date on how we are going to work around this week and next week.

This Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday routes are all normal. However Wednesday afternoon we will be coming through and doing part of the 4th Friday route. This includes Warsaw and the surrounding area.

Then on Thursday we will run the normal Gilby/Arvilla route with one truck and the other truck will finish the other Friday route which will include Forest River and the surrounding area.

Come next week, we will run Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday routes all normal. The only change will be running the Friday route on Thursday again.

We thank you for all of the business and support from this last year and we hope you all have a very happy holiday season!!
