Some routes may have 2 Drivers, so your pickup time may be earlier than usual, however your pickup day will remain as scheduled. Payments can be dropped off in the dropbox located on the fence, mailed in, made over the phone, made online or paid in person. If you have extra bags you need to get rid of, you may bring to the Douglas County Demo Landfill and will be charged accordingly.

Very disappointed in their service. They missed picking up our recycling last week. When I called they said the best they can do is have the garbage truck dump our recycle bin with the garbage the next week. The reason we recycle is to keep it out of the landfill. Dumping recycling with the garage is not a responsible recycler. It makes me wonder if they dump all recycling into the landfill,

I had Corries for years then Alex rubbish bought out Corries and jacked up the rates. I tolerated it for the fact they just took over and new company you know... now they jacked up the rates again right before Christmas so that was the last straw. Threw them to the curb and here comes West Central, cheaper rates, plus recycling is included. I wont have to drive to town to drop off my recycling any more so that will save me even more money!

The best price in Parkers Prairie and its not even close. like well over a $100 savings per year, when compared to literally every single other waste provider. I picked ARR because I heard they were good and I didn't question it. I priced them out after a year later (I wasn't displeased with the service, just wanted to make sure I wasn't overpaying), and I found that they are the best price in my area by a LONG SHOT.

Great customer service from Stephanie! She set up our account fast and was very friendly answering my laundry list of questions. I liked talking to an actual person, instead of a machine! Love that they are locally owned and operated. Thanks Alex Rubbish! Very happy with our service and glad we made a switch!

Highest rates in town. Rude, unaccommodating, snobby personnel. Confusing billing. No free recycling service as opposed to West Central Sanitation. If your so much as a day late with your bill they take your can and charge you to bring it back.
Used them for years, trying to shop locally. I don't care if they are from Alexandria: they don't deserve the business. I'm from Alexandria, too, so maybe they should have treated me better.
I've honestly never tried to do business with nastier people in this town and I've lived here my whole life and I'm 50 years old.
