The Rice County Solid Waste Facility in Minnesota is open to only Rice County residents and property owners on specific Mondays, with the gate attendant verifying loads and accepting credit card payments. It is recommended to use a licensed hauler for waste disposal needs, but self-hauling residents can use a pre-pay system for contactless payment and reduced wait times. The facility offers single-sort recycling for county residents, either through local haulers or free drop-off during business hours, with some items recyclable for a fee. Additionally, the facility provides a Waste Wizard tool to assist in proper waste disposal and recycling methods. Electronic waste disposal is emphasized due to environmental concerns, with the facility accepting such items for a fee. Visitors are encouraged to check the Waste Wizard for guidance on waste disposal and recycling options.
