Perham Resource Recovery Facility

Perham Resource Recovery Facility handles regular community trash drop-offs for Perham residents and nearby rural folks. Located on 6th Ave NE, it’s the practical spot people use when their curbside pickup won’t cut it. The site is the kind of municipal facility that sees a steady flow, especially during seasonal cleanups.

Drive up the access road and there’s usually an entrance booth and a scale area where vehicles stop before heading to the disposal piles. The site is open-air with large concrete pads and roll-off containers; look for recycling bins set off to the side past the main drop point. In winter months there’s often an indoor or sheltered area for bad-weather drop-offs, so don’t be surprised if things look different when it’s snowing. Weekends and spring cleanup days get busiest, so lines and some waiting are normal.
