Do you need to change your cart size? 

There is a $30 exchange fee to switch cart sizes, which will be charged on your utility bill with Joint Powers. If you are a new resident, you have 90 days from moving the water bill into your name to decide if you need a different size cart with the exchange fee waived. After 90 days the exchange fee will apply.   

IMPORTANT - If you are moving, please leave your recycling cart at the residence even if you are moving within the City limits. Carts are specific to that address and removing a cart may result in a fee on your utility bill. Damaged carts will be charged a replacement fee of $75.00.

Organic Recycling 

The City of St. Michael has a joint partnership with the City of Hanover for residents to dispose of organic recycling. To participate, residents need to visit Hanover City Hall during open business hours to receive a code for access to the organics dumpster which is located behind Hanover City Hall. Be sure to only compost acceptable organic waste. 

The Wright County Compost and Recycling Facility is available for public drop-off of recycling and for approved dump materials.
For more information about the process, scheduling, and accepted materials.

Next to the compost site, there is a drop for the public to dispose of used oil. No gasoline or solvents are accepted. The cost of disposal is 50 cents per filter and $1/gallon of antifreeze.
