St Louis County Solid Waste

A county-run solid waste site on the edge of Hibbing for residents hauling household trash, recyclables, and yard debris. Locals use it for drop-offs and bigger cleanups when curbside won’t cut it. Winters can change how things run, so expect the place to adapt to cold weather.

Drive up to an entrance booth and be prepared to stop; most county facilities have a scale and charges are assessed by weight, so there’s usually a second stop on the way out. The recycling drop-off is often grouped to one side with rolling bins or roll-offs, while household trash and yard waste are handled in larger sections further back. Buildings or sheltered bays are common for cold months, so some sorting can happen indoors. During spring and weekend cleanups the line can get long and maneuvering a trailer around compacted gravel or packed snow takes a bit more care.
