For facilities, procurement, and project managers with sites in Minnesota. You get the network, the deliveries, and the state rules that change the buy.

How we work in Minnesota
Local haulers do the work; we hold the contract, own the problems, and send one bill. One agreement can hold roll-off dumpsters, portable toilets, and restroom trailers for every Minnesota site. If you’re weighing us against a single hauler, here’s how a broker, a hauler, and our provider network differ.

The network
The network in Minnesota
At Minnesota job sites, October 26, 2024 through October 26, 2026 · Published figure
Figures are counts of completed deliveries, providers, and accounts in this window from our records, as of October 2026. Roll-off deliveries are containers delivered. Portable toilet deliveries are units placed, not orders. A company that completed both services is counted in both service rows, so those rows are not a split of the provider total. The counts are not a promise that every address is covered. Front-load service, compactors, and balers are not in these counts.
State rules
Minnesota rules a buyer should know
What follows is a buyer’s summary of the Minnesota rules that change the buy. It is not legal advice, so check the current text and the site’s local ordinance before you rely on it.
Where construction debris can go
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s demolition landfill guidance quotes the state definitions: demolition debris is solid waste from demolishing buildings, roads, and other structures, including concrete, brick, bituminous concrete, untreated wood, masonry, glass, trees, rock, and plastic building parts, and construction debris is waste building materials, packaging, and rubble from construction, remodeling, repair, and demolition of buildings and roads. Demolition debris goes to a permitted demolition debris land disposal facility. Confirm acceptance with the facility before the haul.
Who may service portable toilets
MPCA’s SSTS business licensing page says businesses doing septic and septage work must hold an MPCA license, with a surety bond, general liability insurance, and at least one certified individual for each specialty, renewed every year. Its individual certification page says the Maintainer certification covers portable toilets and septage management, and local governments can’t require an additional local license. Crew counts are on the OSHA portable toilet requirements guide.
A container on a public street
Minneapolis’ street use permits page says a street use permit is required to place a dumpster or storage container in the street or public right-of-way. Only a licensed contractor can apply, permits are issued for 30, 60, or 90 days, and Public Works has to approve them. Other Minnesota cities set their own rules.
Public disposal cost
Minnesota Revenue’s solid waste tax information lists the tax on construction and demolition debris at 60 cents per cubic yard or $2 per ton, figured the same way the provider bills the customer (by volume, container capacity, or weight). That’s a state tax on disposal, not a customer price. More on disposal fees is in the landfill tipping fees guide.
