The Burn Pile is only for things that will burn....paper products, wood, etc... not wet food and/or garbage!!!! NO CANS, Bottles, or metal of any kind. Please be sure is it secured, either in boxes or bags...Do not leave it there to blow around....

Garbage is NOT free - Everyone who lives here is charged $1.00 per bag -- So thank you, first of all for being respectful enough to bag it up and not leave it - if you stop in at most of the businesses - they will take the bag and a dollar and put it out with our weekly pickup -- The dumpsters are not for public use either, The Rec District pays a high dollar for these for the convenience of their camping guests.  Please respect our trash rules. Thank you

Recycle aluminum cans- please crush and bag the cans and place them in the trailer in front of Kids Club - Proceeds go toward youth activities in Elk River Thanks to Friends of Elk River Kids Workshop
