Different types of waste require different methods of disposal or recycling. A disposal guide is available at www. co.hubbard.mn.us/departments/public_works/solid_waste/ disposal_guide.php.

Hubbard County residents can drop off the following materials at either transfer station for no charge: fluorescent light bulbs, used oil and oil filters, furniture, white goods (stoves, refrigerators, etc.), brush/diseased tree waste and passenger vehicle tires (limits may apply).

RECYCLING, COMPOSTING

Hubbard County recycles cardboard, newspaper, magazines, phonebooks, junk mail, office paper, cans (aluminum, steel and tin), glass containers, #1 plastic and #2 plastic. These materials can be dropped off at either transfer station or at any of the recycling bins across the county.

The transfer stations will also accept lawn clippings, leaves, garden debris and vegetable waste and peelings for composting.

ELECTRONICS

Electronics, such as computer monitors, televisions and telephones (any items with a display) must be recycled by law. Electronics must be taken to either transfer station to be recycled.

Household hazardous waste is accepted all year at the south transfer station and from April 15 through Sept. 15 at the north transfer station.

Rechargeable (Ni-Cad and Lithium Ion) and button (watches, hearing aids, cameras) batteries may be dropped off at either transfer station for recycling. Lead acid batteries should be turned in where new batteries are purchased or may be dropped off at either transfer station. General household alkaline batteries (AA, AAA, C, D) may be disposed of in the trash.
