Due to illegal dumping at our dump-station, I feel it is necessary to post a reminder to all residents of the area.

Unlawful Deposit of Garbage in Minnesota is defined as follows:

“Whoever unlawfully deposits garbage, rubbish, cigarette filters, debris from fireworks, offal, or the body of a dead animal, or other litter in or upon any public highway, public waters or the ice thereon, shoreland areas adjacent to rivers or streams as defined by section 103F.205, public lands, or, without the consent of the owner, private lands or water or ice thereon, is guilty of a petty misdemeanor.”
-Minnesota Statute 609.68

At Pederson’s Disposal we consider Unlawful Deposit of Garbage as anything left at our facility that is unpaid for, or deposited after hours. Our hours of operation are 10 AM – 5 PM Monday through Friday and 10 AM – 2 PM on Saturday. Any dumping after or before these hours of operation, is considered ILLEGAL! Any person found to be illegally dumping on any of our properties WILL BE PROSECUTED TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW!

If you know of someone who illegally dumps at any of our facilities, please LET US KNOW! This is becoming a big problem, and needs to be dealt with!
