tri-county solid waste commission

There is a second chance to drop off and recycle your old, unwanted clothes if you missed last month's event.

Residents of the Tri-County area can clean out their closets and totes for a clothes recycling event on Saturday.

Garbage from Stearns, Benton and Sherburne County will be heading to an Alexandria incinerator starting Thursday. The Tri-County Solid Waste Commission has signed a 20-year agreement with Pope-Douglas Solid Waste to accept up to 50-thousand tons of solid waste per year.
