South Pine Recycling Center

The Pine County Solid Waste department manages household, industrial, and commercial waste in Pine County, offering recycling services at various locations like North Pine, Central Pine, and South Pine. The department also operates the Hinckley Transfer Station and a Household Hazardous Waste facility in Pine City and Willow River. Pine County residents receive a 50% subsidy for disposing of tires, appliances, mattresses, and electronics. The recycling centers have specific hours of operation, with the Household Hazardous Waste facility open from mid-May to September on specific days. Additionally, there are unstaffed locations like the Bruno Recycling Sheds that operate year-round for self-service recycling. Visitors are encouraged to report any illegal garbage dumping at these locations to the office. Staff members include Nikki Novy, Michael Weinacht, Samantha Gassert, and Josh Butterfield, each specializing in different environmental services like wetlands, building site permits, and hazardous waste management.
