Dump It Sanitation & Recycling in Algona is a local recycling center that handles residential and agricultural material drop-offs. Neighbors bring everything from household recyclables to larger farm-related items during seasonal cleanups.
The site is the kind of place with open concrete bays and sorting containers where different materials are separated. Expect a simple entrance area with a place to pull up and a scale or weigh station nearby; vehicles are commonly weighed at facilities like this. Recycling bins and roll-offs are usually set out to the right just past the entry point, and larger trailers or farm trucks tend to take the outer lanes. Weekends and spring cleanup times can get busy, so there may be a short wait to unload.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Bring items already sorted by type-mixed loads slow things down and can lead to extra trips around the site.
- Use a lower gear and keep trailers covered when pulling in; the ground can be gravelly and tight for maneuvering.
- Have materials staged for quick unloading so the next vehicle can use the space; bigger loads take noticeably longer to handle.
