Anoka, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 50, art. II § 50-64
Trash removal for rental properties
Operative Text
(a) Rental properties must have regularly scheduled recycling and trash pickup. (b) If the trash or recycling has not been removed within seven days of the normally scheduled pickup, the trash will be removed under emergency abatement procedures. (c) If the lack of trash or recycling removal becomes a recurring problem, refuse service will be authorized by the city and will be assessed on the property's utility bill.
Anoka City Code ch. 50, art. II § 50-64 requires that rental properties maintain a regular schedule for trash and recycling pickup. If waste is not collected within seven days of a scheduled pickup, the city may step in and remove it through emergency abatement procedures. When missed pickups become a recurring pattern, the city can authorize refuse service directly and charge the cost to the property's utility bill.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Anoka City Code ch. 50, art. II § 50-64, compliant rental property operators maintain an active, regularly scheduled trash and recycling service for their properties. Operators generally keep records of their service agreements and monitor pickup completion to avoid triggering the city's emergency abatement process. Repeated failures can result in the city arranging refuse service independently and billing those costs directly to the property's utility account, so consistent oversight of waste removal is a standard part of property management in Anoka.

Anoka City Code ch. 50, art. II § 50-64 establishes that rental properties must have regular trash and recycling pickup, which is a baseline condition of a maintained rental property. If waste is going uncollected at your rental property, this provision gives the city authority to intervene through emergency abatement or by authorizing refuse service billed to the property. Tenants who believe this requirement is not being met may consider contacting the City of Anoka directly to report the issue or reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
