Other notes
- The official county page establishes a fee-based drive-through for major appliances, tires, automotive batteries, pallets and electronics. Use staffed hours and ask where to unload these items.
- The page says 24-hour drop-off is available for most materials but the detailed ordinary-material guide is not readable in the text retrieved. Follow posted signs and call about a specific material rather than treating all glass or plastic as accepted.
- The linked recycling brochure returned HTTP403 during verification. No rates or material rules from that unavailable document are inferred here.
- This facility is at Waseca Avenue, not the county government center on South 5th Street or the separate regional household hazardous waste facility on Summit Avenue.
