Currently, there are three licensed trash haulers for New Brighton residents. They include Ace Solid Waste Management, Allied Waste and Red Arrow. The community participates in a "two-sort recycling" program in which your recyclables are collected at your curb every other week. All you have to do is separate your recyclables into their proper containers and placed at your curbside by 7:00 am on the morning of pickup. You can separate different recyclables into paper bags and place them in the same recycle bin as well. Recycle bins are available for purchase at City Hall for only $10 each and you can also get a brochure that explains the trash and recycling program in New Brighton.
