WLSSD

Composting is good for the environment and can save you money too.

WLSSD said snowmelt is continuing to cause high flows in Dululth's sanitary sewer collection system and residents should prepare for possible flooding.

A recent fire aboard a garbage truck in Duluth prompted an important reminder from WLSSD about battery disposal.

This free holiday tree recycling program has already begun, with multiple locations now available 24-hours a day throughout the Northland.

The Western Lake Superior Sanitary District’s Yard Waste Compost Site is busy and wants to accommodate the increased traffic.

The Western Lake Superior Sanitary District (WLSSD) will extend its closure of their facilities in compliance with Governor Waltz Quarantine Order.

Items other than toilet paper can cause major issues.

The time has come to dispose of your Christmas tree, get those lights and decorations off of it before it becomes a fire hazard, and WLSSD makes it so convenient with a dozen drop off sites to choose from.

Bonus!

Last Friday, after people had time to evaluate the extensive damage of the storm, we were asked to relay that a brush drop off center was open on Rice Lake Road.  Starting on Monday, July 24 the City of Duluth will begin curbside pick up of tree debris.

The City of Duluth released an official storm response and restoration brief on Friday, updating the public on the city's recovery process and offering advice for debris removal and other resources. This brief will be updated with new information as things change. Here are the highlights of the brief from Friday:
