Pepin County Solid Waste in Durand is the county spot for household trash, recycling and yard debris drops. Locals swing by for everything from a bag of house trash to a load of tree trimmings. The place is practical and no-frills, right at 740 7th Ave W.
Pull into a gravel lot and stop at a small entrance booth before proceeding; that'll put the vehicle in the flow toward the drop-off areas. Recycling bins tend to be grouped to one side while brush and bulky items sit in larger containers or piles a bit farther in. There's often a scale involved, so plan on stopping again after unloading. Weekends-especially during spring cleanup-can have a line, so expect a short wait at busy times.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort recyclables, brush and regular trash at home so unloading goes quickly and fewer trips around the site are needed.
- Bring a tarp and straps for loose loads; it keeps the truck bed tidy and makes dumping or carrying material easier.
- Try for a weekday morning if possible-weekend late mornings and spring cleanup times are when lines build up.
