Troje’s Trash & Recycling has been recycled.
The 47-year-old Inver Grove Heights company has been purchased by Republic Services, a national trash-hauling company.
There will be no change in the cost, pick-up schedule or services, said Republic spokeswoman Jennifer Eldridge. She said that eventually, Republic will swap its own trash bins for the older Troje’s bins.
Some Troje’s customers were notified about the change last week. Troje’s did not respond to recent phone messages or emails asking for comment.
Troje’s served Woodbury, Apple Valley, Newport, Rosemount, South St. Paul, Mendota Heights and Inver Grove Heights.
In May, Troje’s was cited by the Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota for not responding to 17 complaints. The Bureau has received 68 complaints about Troje’s in the past three years.
Republic spokeswoman Eldridge said Republic operates in the Twin cities metro area. and that it has extended employment offers to Troje’s employees.
She said all Troje’s customers should expect to get a final bill from Troje’s soon. Bills for service after Oct. 1 will be mailed by Republic.
Republic has set up a customer hotline to handle questions: 651-455-8634. Information is also available at the company website, RepublicServices.com.
