History

Randy and Sandy Roskowiak started Randy’s Sanitation in 1979 with just one garbage truck and a lot of ingenuity. At that time, the company consisted of a couple hundred residential customers and just a few commercial accounts sprinkled in between. The business was operated out of Randy and Sandy’s home. During the day Randy was in his truck servicing the customers, and in the evening he knocked on doors to drum up new business. Sandy ran the books and answered the phones while tending to a quickly growing family.
Oh, how the business has changed over the years.When Randy and Sandy started out, recycling was quite a foreign concept. However, today it is a large part of the business. The recent addition of Organics Recycling and Document Destruction Service has truly set us apart from the rest.
What was once a “garbage company” has matured into an “all-inclusive service company”.
To better reflect the full range of services that we provide, Randy and Sandy recently changed the business name to Randy’s Environmental Services.
Today, Randy’s Environmental Services is the largest independent waste hauling company in the state of Minnesota and is consistently ranked in the top 60 waste hauling companies in the nation. Through hard work and integrity, Randy’s has become one of the finest full-service hauling companies anywhere. Randy’s Environmental Services is a total family effort. Randy and Sandy feel truly blessed to have all five sons actively involved in the business and they look forward to carrying on the ownership and operation of the business in a family-friendly way, just as it has for more than 30 years.

Randy and Sandy Roskowiak are proud to have all six of their children involved in the family business.

• Michaela, their youngest, is currently attending college and is involved in company operations during school breaks.
• Bobby, the oldest, is the Director of Company Operations. He’s also responsible for coordinating routes, overseeing the fabrication shop and purchasing equipment.
• Andy, next in line, is the Director of Commercial Sales & Commodity Marketing. In addition to managing the Commercial Sales Department, Andy is responsible for selling all of the commodities that are sorted in our Material Recovery Facility.

Public Drop Sites - Delano Public Drop Site, MN

The Randy’s Environmental Services Delano public drop site location provides an easy drop off location for St. Michael, Independence, Medina, Montrose, Rockford, Orono, Maple Plain, Wayzata and Long Lake residents or businesses looking for a recycling drop off center or approved dump site.
We’d like to help preserve the beauty of our river going through Delano and make it easy to drop off materials and have them properly recycled or disposed of. It’s easy to make a quick stop with all those unwanted phones, desktop computers, TVs or other unwanted stuff that’s just sitting in you garage, attic or basement.
Did you know this about appliances that typically contain 70% steel? Making new steel out of recycled scrap uses 1/4 of the energy required to process steel from virgin ore, so using recycled steel is very good for our environment. Americans recycle about 72% of appliances today—and every little bit helps our environment.
Open six days a week for your convenience, the Delano public drop site will take those things that can't be routinely disposed of like batteries, tires, fluorescent lights, cell phones, computer screens, televisions and other electronics, as well as larger items like appliances (freezers, washers, microwaves, etc.), tires and mattresses. There’s almost no limit to the items we can recycle or dispose of properly, including discarded household items, construction waste and cardboard. There’s no need to run from place to place because we take care of everything right here. If you have sensitive paper documents to dispose of, drop them off for our shredding service. You’ll find an expanded list of what we can take located here. Hazardous waste items we are not able to accept are listed here. If you have any questions, just give us a call.
The Delano Public Drop Site is located 1 mile west of Delano on Hwy 12, across from Delano Sports Center. The Randy’s Delano facility, which has a transfer station, cannot accept dump-trailers on Saturdays, as our transfer station is not open for public.

Randy’s public drop sites do not accept the following items:

• Hazardous or liquid wastes
• Paints
• Asbestos
• Gas powered refrigeration units

Business Organics Recycling Programs

Starting a Business Organics Recycling Program with Randy’s Environmental Services allows your school or business to expand its recycling program to include food waste and food-soiled paper products. Businesses and schools can play an important role in easing the burden on the environment considering that half of the waste produced in Hennepin County comes from businesses, and about 25 percent of what we throw away is food and food-soiled paper. In an Organics Recycling program, all food scraps and paper food service items are placed in a single container that we provide. From there, the waste is delivered to a composting facility where it is recycled into valuable compost. Finished compost is an organic-rich soil amendment that is used to improve soil structure and water-holding capacity of soils and minimize leaching of nutrients. Compost prevents soil erosion and polluted storm water runoff from contaminating our wetlands, lakes and streams. In addition, compost can also be used to reclaim marginal soils and can be used in gardens, golf courses, playing fields, road construction projects and landscaping.
