Sunshine Refuse, locally owned and operated, has proudly served Winona County since 2010 and is expanding to Rochester in 2025. We provide affordable, reliable trash service with a strong commitment to excellent customer service for both residential and commercial clients. Our goal is to make our community proud of its local waste provider.
Tony Buckland founded Sunshine Refuse 15 years ago after 14 years in financial services, recognizing a gap for a customer-focused company that served both clients and the community. Frustrated by overbilling and poor customer service, he created Sunshine Refuse to offer reliable, on-time, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly service. The company has always prioritized sustainable practices, helping reduce waste and minimize environmental impact. In 2024, Dylan Buckland joined full-time, bringing his experience as a Journeyman Lineman in electric utilities. He’s excited to help expand the company into new markets, continuing the tradition of trusted, local service.
