About Douglas County Solid Waste
Douglas County Solid Waste sits in Alexandria, Minnesota, with a focus on demolition and salvage work. The site takes inbound scrap from local sellers and small contractors, and acts as a paid outlet for material that would otherwise sit unused or head to landfill. Information on which material types this site takes on a given day is not on file in the current directory snapshot. On a practical level, operating hours are posted in the directory entry and a phone line, a website, and an email contact are on file. The directory carries what the yard chose to publish about its day-to-day inbound flow and contact channels, surfaced here as a working baseline for sellers planning a visit to the gate. Industrial sellers should phone the yard with material spec and approximate tonnage so the site can quote per-ton intake and confirm gate handling. Heavier loads often need scheduling around the yard's own equipment, which the call sorts in advance and pins down a working price for the inbound at the same time.
