Otter Tail Solid Waste Department

Small county facility in Fergus Falls that handles regular household trash plus the usual recycling and yard debris most locals drop off. A lot of people from town and nearby farms use it, especially during spring cleanup and fall leaf season. Winters can push things indoors, so the place feels different depending on the month.

Drive up to a plainly marked entrance where vehicles line up on busy weekends; bring a tarp or tie-downs if hauling loose material. There are separate piles and bins for different materials, with areas set back from the driveway so trucks can pull up and dump. Look for a small booth or office near the entrance and a scale or exit point further down if there's a charge by weight at the site. In cold months some drop-off points may be inside or sheltered, so snow-cleared paths and plowed lanes are common.
