Recycling Center

Polk County has two regional recycling centers located in Crookston and Fosston. Community Collection sites are also located in most incorporated municipalities within Polk County. The recycling bins located at the Crookston Transfer Station accepts recycling items 24/7 and do not need to be separated as we collect recyclables that are sorted at the Fosston recycling center. Only recyclable items can be dropped off after normal business hours.

• Aluminum
