Waste Wizard is Here! This new tool will assist residents with how and/or where to dispose of or recycle many differerent items in Dodge County.
The Recycling Blue Bins have been returned. However, the bins behind the Recycling Center building will still be removed from Saturday at Noon until Monday morning until further notice. Please remember to flatten your boxes and put all the packaging from in the boxes in your garbage. Illegal dumping is a misdemeanor and punishable by citation and a fine. Please dispose of items properly and if you have any questions, please call us at 507-635-6273. We do not want to have to remove them permanently so please help us keep the recycling free of contamination. Ask the Waste Wizard above where things go if you don't know. Thank you!
CONTACT YOUR LEGISLATORS about funding a new Transfer Station building at the Dodge County Transfer Station. The Transfer Station is in need of a new Transfer building. We need constituent support to help promote this bill to the MN legislature. The building will be utilized to keep the facility running at capacity and serve the needs of the community. Thank you for your support!

SHARPS DISPOSAL - Dodge County Transfer Station accepts sharps/syringes from residents at no charge.
* All sharps must be in a leak-proof, puncture-proof sealed container such as a laundry
