Who We Are

Gary and Eric started Waste Partners with combined corporate and private industry experience of over 30 years.Gary had previously owned a private collection business in the Brainerd Lakes Area (Poor Gary’s Disposal 1981 to 1992). Prior to this business, Gary had owned many different enterprises in several industries including: restaurants, grocery store, meat market, motel, home construction, well drilling, pilot training, airplane sales, etc…Eric worked for Poor Gary’s Disposal while also going to college. When Gary sold his business to Northern Waste Systems (a regional hauler serving Western Minnesota and Eastern North Dakota), Eric stayed to run the division. Northern Waste Systems then sold its operations to Waste Management Inc. the world’s largest trash collection company.Eric remained the manager and expanded his duties to running the Alexandria Division and operating the St. Cloud Division Transfer Station. Eric left Waste Management in 1998 to assume the duties of General Manager for Superior Services of St. Paul. A month later Superior Services sold their operations to Vivendi, a French conglomerate. Eric remained the GM here until March of 2000, just prior to beginning Waste Partners.

“Minnesota Solid Waste Disclosure Statement'

In accordance with Minnesota State Law, The Waste Management Act requires that solid waste haulers disclose the destination of your waste. In addition, the Minnesota Legislature requires Minnesota haulers to provide the following statement to their customers:“You may be responsible for any liability that results from contamination at a facility where your waste has been deposited. Minnesota believes that its waste management system provides substantially more financial and environmental protection than depositing waste in landfills in other states. Managing your waste in Minnesota may minimize your potential liability.”

Waste Partners, Inc. utilizes only properly licensed and permitted disposal facilities that meet or exceed both Federal and State Environmental Regulations. Waste Partners, Inc. utilizes the following disposal facilities as primary disposal facilities for mixed municipal solid waste: Crow Wing County Sanitary Landfill, Oak Lawn Township, Crow Wing County, Minnesota, MPCA permit #SW-376 and Cass County Transfer Station, Backus, Cass County, Minnesota, MPCA permit #SW-419.
