Per-item fees
| Item | Fee |
|---|---|
| Residential assessed program | 2026 county residential service fee $181/year through property assessment. Many household trash/recycling/appliance/electronics/tire/HHW streams no additional charge for eligible residents; this is not universal free disposal. |
| Demolition at transfer station | $20 per cubic yard; only less than 1 yard accepted at Bemidji. Larger loads directed to separate county demolition landfill; exact one-yard boundary not resolved by page wording. |
| Furniture, bypass and treated wood | $20 per cubic yard in official 2026 county schedule, even though broad resident description says household solid waste is no additional charge. Confirm classification before travel. |
| E-bike battery | $25 each in official 2026 schedule; not covered by blanket household-battery free assumption. |
| Noncounty/commercial | Out-of-county municipal solid waste $191/ton; commercial MSW $181/ton. Commercial appliance/electronics/tire rates differ; confirm eligibility, licensing and total before hauling. |
Hazardous waste

Other notes
- Self-service facility: bring help to unload as directed and have Solid Waste ID Card available. Listing does not request/apply for a card or submit personal details.
- Plan loads to separate burnable/nonburnable trash, recyclables, demolition, metals, special waste and organics. Plastics in single sort limited to 1, 2 and 5; food glass and metal food/beverage containers accepted.
- Main station lists appliances, electronics, bulbs/ballasts, tires, batteries, carpet/furniture, scrap metal, organics and household HHW as separate categories. Broad acceptance does not cancel the 2026 fees for bypass/furniture, demolition or e-bike batteries.
- County residential page directs grass, leaves, garden waste and brush to the separate Beltrami County Demolition Landfill, not this transfer-station yard. Verify that site's location/hours before loading yard waste.
- Public gate is closed Tuesdays even though administrative office hours say Monday-Friday 8-4:30. Do not use billing-office hours for disposal access.
- Demolition description says less than one yard here, more than one yard elsewhere, leaving exactly one yard unspecified. Ask attendant rather than assuming the larger load can enter. No current dated holiday schedule verified.
