Hartel's Disposal is a local choice for commercial and residential trash and recycling service, operating since 1952. They serve several townships in Minnesota and parts of Superior, Wisconsin. The company offers home dumpsters and roll-off boxes for various projects and provides special pick-up for large items. Reviews highlight dedicated and compassionate service. Drivers are noted for going above and beyond, such as cleaning up spilled trash without being asked and retrieving cans from a customer's yard. The company also accommodated a special request for a child's birthday party, making a memorable appearance with a garbage truck. Staff have been described as kind and compassionate, especially in sensitive situations. However, some customers report frustrations. These include a charge to temporarily stop and restart service, which one long-time customer found unreasonable. Others cite persistent payment system issues, particularly with Visa cards, where transactions are flagged as fraud. The company has stated this is an issue with the card provider, not their system. Overall, Hartel's is recognized for its community-focused and caring service, though some administrative policies and payment processes have drawn criticism.
Woke up this. A.M. neighbors trash can had been raided by raccoons Seconds later the trash man came. He stopped got out of the truck picked up the can and then shoveled it all up. Amazing Haven't seen dedication or service like that since I was a kid. Great job.

We have had Hartels for the past 7 years. They are reliable and easy to contact.

We’ve been happy with Hartels for many years….until now. We called to put a stop on our service for six weeks. We were told there would be a $25.00 charge to re-start it! Ridiculous to charge a faithful customer this way!
