Solid Waste

solid waste logoThe Recycling Center is located at the main transfer station just south of Cass Lake. This project was made possible from continued Tribal Government support, a grant from the US Department of Energy, and several smaller grants from the US Environmental Protection Agency, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, Indian Health Service, and Cass County. The new center enables Leech Lake Solid Waste to properly handle and manage waste material and recyclables, as well as, provide a more efficient and safer way for the public/community to dispose of these items.

A large part of the success is due to increased recycling by the Leech Lake community and its band members.
Through continued support from entire Reservation, Leech Lake Solid Waste staff is committed to caring about waste management for the betterment of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe, its members, and the surrounding community.
