Recycling in Woodbury, Minnesota
Woodbury sits on the east edge of the Twin Cities metro, and its household drop-off point is the Washington County South Environmental Center at 4039 Cottage Grove Drive. The county runs two centers, north and south, that take household hazardous waste, electronics, and other hard-to-handle items from residents. One local detail worth knowing: trash collected in Washington County goes to the Ramsey/Washington Recycling and Energy Center in Newport, where metal is recovered and the rest becomes fuel for electricity.
