Trash
Trash cans are never allowed on the street and are only allowed at the curb for one collection day each week—after 6 p.m. the night prior to collection and removed by 12 p.m. the day following collection. Leaving trash containers on the curb any longer is in violation of Mankato’s city code and makes it difficult for snow and ice removal operators to do a thorough job. A trash can left on the curb too long may be removed and need to be reclaimed to reinstate garbage removal service.
Mankato’s city code benefits visual appearance in neighborhoods to help maintain quality of life within the community.
If there’s a special circumstance preventing removal within the allotted time period of one day, contact the Mankato city offices at 507-387-8630.
