What the new building offers
The new transfer station makes it easier and safer to drop off trash and recycling. Features include:
- Separate areas for residential and commercial traffic, so residents don’t have to share space with large trucks.
- Space and equipment help bring single-sort curbside recycling to the whole county. Single-sort means all recyclables go in one bin.
- An indoor tipping floor where residents can unload their trash out of the weather.
- Indoor storage for most materials.
- Indoor restrooms.
“This facility is a big part of how we’re changing the way we serve residents,” said Natalee Yates, Otter Tail County public information and education officer. “Our long-range plan calls for services that are safer, easy to use and ready for the future. Commercial single-sort recycling, an indoor tipping floor and a reuse center all move us in that direction.”
