Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe Solid Waste

Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe Solid Waste is the local solid waste site for folks around Cass Lake, handling general household trash, recyclables and yard debris. Neighbors and tribal members drop off regular loads here, especially during spring cleanups and after yard work.

Drive in to a working, no-frills facility with marked drop-off points and piles or containers for different materials; it looks like a typical rural transfer site rather than a shiny commercial dump. In Minnesota winters there is often some indoor or sheltered space for dropping off items, so expect things to be arranged to keep snow and cold in mind. Traffic can get slow when everyone shows up on weekends or during seasonal cleanups, so there’s usually a line of trucks and trailers to wait through.
