Please bring discarded appliances, furniture, mattresses, tires, scrap lumber and metal and other such items to Cass County Solid Waste south of town.  For hours, fees and more information, call: 587-3500.  Please do not leave these items at the Recycling Bins!  Cass County provides these bins as a courtesy to city residents and if non-recyclable items continue to be left there, this service could be discontinued.
