Red Wing Solid Waste Campus

Red Wing Solid Waste Campus is the local spot for dropping off household trash, recycling and yard waste for Red Wing residents. People from the area and nearby townships use it when doing cleanups or yard work; the site looks like a typical municipal solid waste facility and sits at 1873 Bench St.

Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to stop - many facilities of this type have a scale so vehicles are weighed on the way in and out. A cluster of dumpsters and container bays sits beyond the booth, with recycling and yard-waste areas separated from the main trash piles. In Minnesota winters there is often an indoor or sheltered drop-off option for recyclables or small items, so don’t expect everything to be out in the open. Lines form on weekends and during spring cleanup, so traffic can back up toward the entrance.
