Recycling Center

General Waste & Recycling, LLC

(218) 778-6600

A small recycling center near Hibbing, located on Co Rd 571 in Keewatin, that locals use for household and small commercial recycling drop-offs. Neighbors tend to bring curbside overflow, yard cleanup loads in spring, and the odd appliance or metal bin when clearing out a garage.

Pull into a gravel lot with a simple entrance booth and a scale nearby-vehicles often stop there to be weighed before and after unloading. Recycling bins and roll-off containers sit out in the open, with an indoor drop-off area likely available for cold winter days. The yard is functional rather than fancy: concrete pads, piles of sorted material, and room to back a pickup or trailer up to a container. Weekends and spring cleanup times can be busy, so queues at the gate are common.

Before You Go

  • Sort items at home-paper, cardboard, metal and glass separated saves time when pulling up to the bins.
  • Bring something to cover and secure loose loads (tarps, bungee cords); wind and road spray can make a mess on the way in.
  • Try a weekday morning if possible; lines and wait times are usually shorter than weekend or spring-cleanup afternoons.
