Wright County Compost & Recycling Important Update!
The Wright County Compost & Recycling Facility will be undergoing a facelift! Therefore, the current facility at 505 Co Rd 37 NE WILL BE CLOSED starting April 18, 2025, due to construction activity on site. Limited operations will resume April 29, 2025, at a temporary location at 5538 85th St. NW, Maple Lake, until the new building can be occupied. During this transition and construction period, some services will not be available, which may change as space at the temporary location becomes available.
When operations resume at the temporary location on or around April 29, the following items will NOT BE ACCEPTED: tires, scrap metal, appliances, electronics, batteries, Styrofoam, TVs, and large size or quantities of cardboard.
Acceptable items will include household hazardous waste (paints, stains, and chemicals), curbside recycling, sharps, and yard waste. Large quantities of cardboard will NOT be accepted due to limited space for operations.
Please check Wright County Compost & Recycling Facility periodically for updates.
