Kandiyohi County Solid Waste

1005 High Ave NE, Willmar, MN 56201

Kandiyohi County Solid Waste in Willmar is the local spot residents and small contractors use for household trash, recycling and yard debris. Located on High Avenue NE, it’s the kind of county facility people drop by when cleaning out a garage or doing seasonal yard work.

Pull in and you'll likely see an entrance booth and a scale-many county sites charge by weight, so be ready to stop again on the way out. The site is a working, no-nonsense place with piles, bays or big bins for different materials and room to swing a trailer or pickup. In winter there are usually sheltered or indoor drop-off options around the region, so dress for the cold and plan for a short walk from vehicle to drop point. Weekends and spring cleanup times get busy, so expect lines at peak times.

Before You Go

  • Sort and load similar materials together before getting to the gate; it saves time and reduces getting sent to multiple spots.
  • Have a tarp or straps handy to secure loose loads-wind and passing trucks can make an unsecured load messy fast.
  • Bring a sturdy vehicle with good turning radius for backing into larger bins; backing up a long trailer is common at these sites, so leave extra space.
