Contracted Citywide Service
The City of North St. Paul has provided contracted citywide garbage and recycling service to its residential customers since 2001. On Tuesday, July 16, 2019, the North St. Paul City Council approved Tennis Sanitation, LLC as a hauler for residential customers in North St. Paul.
About Our Hauler
Tennis Sanitation is a family-owned and operated local company that has served area customers since 1966 and has served the residents of North St. Paul since September 2019.
Single Hauler Savings to Residents
The contracted residential garbage and recycling services are set to provide savings of 5.42% to 18.97% depending on your container size compared to the prior rates under multiple haulers. Along with the new rates, the City absorbed a nearly 19% increase in disposal costs by the Ramsey / Washington Recycling & Energy Board.
