Beginning Wednesday, April 1, the Crow Wing County Landfill moved to its summer hours of operation.
The landfill will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday. During these expanded hours the landfill is open to accept household garbage, fiberglass boats, mattresses, furniture, mobile homes and other items for proper disposal.
Due to COVID-19 and to ensure everyone’s safety, all customers bringing material to the landfill for disposal must remain in their vehicles. Landfill staff will come out of the main office to assist customers if needed.
Customers using the landfill must stop at the landfill office and speak with the attendant to discuss the items to be disposed, pay any fees and receive directions to the proper drop-off locations. All loads coming to the landfill must be covered, and uncovered loads are subject to a $5 fee.
The following items can be properly disposed in the landfill for free or a nominal fee depending upon the items:
