Twelve rural collection sites around the county take household waste only, up to one cubic yard, every day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Large bulky items, tires and wood have to go to Ramsey or Prairie, and the rural sites take no commercial waste. The county doesn't pick up from homes: curbside service is through private haulers.
All three kinds of site close on New Year's Day, Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas, and at 3 p.m. on December 24 and 31.
