I have been with Walter’s for a few years and they have been wonderful. The drivers are very friendly and punctual. If I ever need to call them, they are always friendly and willing to help!

We’ve been using Walter’s for our child care center for years, and their service has been nothing short of excellent. They are always reliable, punctual, and respectful of our operating hours, which is incredibly important for a facility caring for young children.Their team is friendly and professional, and the bins are consistently clean and well-maintained—a small detail that makes a big difference in maintaining a safe and sanitary environment for our kids. We truly appreciate their consistency and care.Highly recommended for any business, especially those that need dependable, courteous service!

I've been using Walters Recycling and Refuse for over 2 years, and I couldn't be happier with their service. They're consistently on time, and my trash and recycling are always picked up without a hitch. The drivers are courteous and respectful of my property, never leaving a mess behind.Their customer service is also top-notch, responsive, friendly, and helpful whenever I’ve had a question or need to make changes. It's clear they take pride in their work and value their customers.If you're looking for a dependable trash service that does exactly what they promise, I highly recommend Walter's Recycling and Refuse.

I’ve been using Walter's for about three years now, and they’ve been fantastic! Prior to switching, I was with a different trash company and regularly experienced delays in service. Since moving to Walter's, I’ve never had a missed or skipped service day.Whenever I call for extra service, the staff is always friendly and helpful. A big shout-out to Suzanne Pederson for assisting me today—thank you for the great customer service!

We've had Walter's for many years. Always great and friendly service, always the first to pu in our area. Today I had stuffed a boat cover into my bin, then a bunch of stuff on top of that, so it was very tight. After truck went by, I noticed that the cover was still stuck in my bin. I called Walter's and spoke to a very nice woman that put me back on the schedule. I loosened stuff and truck was back in 15min, emptied fine! Thank you Walter's!! So glad we use your great service!!

Their Customer Service is great! I switched to Walters last fall due to another company not following thru with their Yard Waste pickup. Walter took care of me with 2 weeks left in the season. Then we moved this spring, and Walters made the transition from the old house to the new house effortless for us.

I've been very pleased with Walter's since we switched 2 years ago. I referred my daughter and was given a discount last summer for the referral. Always quick to respond to my questions.

We’ve been with Walter’s about 3 years now and I can honestly say they’re the most reliable service we’ve ever had. We also appreciate being able to talk to a live and local customer service rep if we ever need to. I can see why they’ve been voted Minnesota’s best the last 4 years in a row.

Had an easy transition to your services-- customer service was excellent when I called about how to pay for yard waste pickup...garbage pick up was timely as well.

Jeffrey Aalbers

Been very happy with Walter’s so far. Good price and good service. I have a tendency to overfill the bin, and their workers make sure it all gets picked up.

I can only give it four star because this is going on my third week with them I haven't had no complaints or problems about the can or the trash but as time goes on after I see how things go and if it stays accordingly I can introduce the store to the five-star and give pictures until then we'll see

I just switched from a hauler I had been using for 20 some years as I noticed most of my neighbors were with Walter's. It's rates were significantly lower and they offered many more services then my prior hauler.My first pickup was Monday and I couldn't be more pleased. They dropped off the new container a couple days earlier for no charge whereas my former whereas my former carrier charged $60 to return its cart.My only regret is I didn't act much earlier

This is the best company in this service sector. Not the cheapest, just all around the best. As a customer you always get a live/local staff member to answer your question. No holding for 20-30 minutes only to get an answering agency with a staff member who is not fluent in English. I love the email reminders regarding pick up. Thumbs up.

Was able to start service online easily. I was given a discount for being referred by a friend, which was nice. And when I needed the bins from the previous owner’s picked up, I just emailed and it was taken care of on the next garbage day. So far, great service.

Just started with Walters and so far very happy with them. Prices are comparable with other haulers for residential trash but they beat the service I did have when it comes to yard waste by a mile. Better than twice the amount allowed for basically the same price and, somebody over there has some serious smarts, they give you an extra container for the same price. Saves time and effort for their employees (they don't have to get out of the truck to pickup bags) and saves me time and money (don't have to buy bags or fill them which is somewhat more difficult than filling a container). Got my neighbor to go with them as well for the same reasons. Would recommend them to anyone looking for this type of service.

Have had Walters for 7 years now and have never had a pick up issue! They have been nothing but quality service every week. Have only had 1 billing question/issue during this time as well (regarding the significant increase in price others have mentioned),emailed their customer service, and they responded within an hour going above and beyond. Hard to see myself ever leaving Walters if they keep up the great work.

Alexander Anton

17:45 14 Mar 25

A 20% price hike after a summer of inconsistent pick up is a hard pill to swallow. Often they'd forget about myself and all the neighbors on the road.Edit: service consistently has improved and they offered me a better rate, changing my review

UPDATE: Walter's called and offered me a great deal on the next two years of service, along with dropping yard waste $45 this year, so I decided to stick with them as I appreciate their willingness to work with me.I've been using Walter's for almost 8 years. My invoice over the past year has gone up two different times (each at the 6 month mark). I'm paying about $50 more each bill for the same service. This is NOT fuel charges, these are charges to the bins (which is a rip off). And $265 for 6 months of yard waste is insane. I will be cancelling my service unless they decide to keep bin fees fixed and only adjust the costs for taxes and fuel since those amounts fluctuate.Another negative, my christmas tree sat on my curb for 3 weeks, I had to call for them to pick it up...and it's part of the our service.

I have been working for Caring Transitions for about 3 years. We do a ton of disposal runs at Water's and the team there is absolutely amazing! Great customer service, they work to solve any of our problems as a customer, and 8 times out of 10, they provide great healthy snacks for a boost of energy if needed! I love Walter's!
