Summer in southwest Minnesota is one of our favorite times of year. From parades and hometown festivals to fairs and community celebrations, it’s the season where neighbors come together, and we’re proud to be part of it.
At Sweetman Sanitation, we believe in rolling up our sleeves and showing up for the communities we serve. Whether we’re in the parade lineup, dropping off dumpsters behind the scenes, or helping sponsor local traditions, you’ll see the Sweetman crew all over the place this summer.

Showing Up for Our Communities
We grew up here. We live here. And we’re raising our own families here. Supporting community events is just one way we stay connected to the people and places that matter most to us.
If you’re attending any of these summer happenings and see a red and black Sweetman truck drive by, give us a wave. We’ll be out and about doing what we do best, keeping things clean, staying involved, and helping our hometowns shine.
