Solid Waste Facility

Prairieland Solid Waste Facility

801 E 5th St N, Truman, MN 56088

(507) 776-3232

Small-town solid waste facility in Truman where locals drop off household trash, recycling and yard debris. Pickup trucks, trailers and the occasional commercial truck are a common sight. The site is at 801 E 5th St N, so it's handy for folks in town.

Pull up to an entrance with a small booth and lanes to drive through; there may be a scale or weigh station involved, so be prepared to stop more than once. The place looks like a working yard - gravel or paved traffic areas, roll-off containers and seasonal piles of brush or compost. Recycling bins are often set off to one side just past the booth, while general trash areas sit further inside; expect to unload your vehicle and watch for big trucks moving around. Weekends get backed up, especially during spring cleanup season.

Before You Go

  • Go early on a weekday if possible - lines and wait times swell on weekend mornings and during spring cleanups.
  • Sort recyclables, brush and regular trash at home before arriving so unloading goes faster and fewer trips around the site are needed.
  • Bring gloves, a tarp and sturdy shoes; the ground can be uneven or gravel, and keep kids and pets inside the vehicle while unloading.
