(218) 768-3721McGregor Transfer Station and Recycling Center is the town recycling drop-off on Highway 65 that locals use for household recyclables and small loads. Neighbors bring cardboard, cans, bottles and other curbside-type materials here rather than the landfill. The place mainly serves McGregor residents looking to keep everyday recyclables out of the trash.
Pull into a straightforward yard with a small entrance booth and an open tipping/collection area; many vehicles line up on weekends. There are separate containers for common recyclables like paper, cardboard, glass, metals and plastics, and most centers in the area also run special programs for things like electronics or bulky items at times. Winters in Minnesota change the routine - expect cold, icy spots and sometimes indoor drop-off for bad weather at nearby facilities. Traffic picks up during spring cleanup and community events, so the yard can feel busy and slow-moving then.
