Waste Campus

The Red Wing Waste Campus is a Resource & Recovery Facility that manages the recycling of commodities, construction, and demolition, industrial, residential and commercial waste generated in the City of Red Wing and surrounding communities in Goodhue County and Wabasha County.

This facility is open to all; you do not need to be a Red Wing resident to dispose of waste.  Those using the facility will be required to sort their loads into the proper containers at the facility.
