Minneapolis shifts yard waste service amid driver shortage

• Local trash haulers also say industry-wide labor issues are to blame.

Zoom in: The service changes impact residents in South Minneapolis east of I-35W and south of Minnehaha Creek.

• Some Northeast customers who live south of 22nd Avenue NE will also see shifts.

What they're saying: "Staff understand this is inconvenient and are grateful for customers’ patience and understanding while the City works through staffing issues," a press release announcing the changes reads.

Of note: If you've gone two weeks without a pick up, you can call the Solid Waste & Recycling office at 612-673-2917.
