Other items like cardboard recycling, yard waste, flourescent light bulbs and large items can be dropped off at the landfill site on Hwy 9 South. M-F 8am-4pm. You can find them by heading south out of town on Atlantic Avenue, then making a right turn into the industrial park after the going under the highway overpass. Take the first left immediately after crossing the tracks.

Household trash from Morris is trucked to Fergus Falls  and incinerated. Recyclables are trucked to Minneapolis for resale. Construction debris, and yard waste are collected on site at the landfill.

Of course the best way to get rid of something you don't need anymore is to find someone else who can use it, and give it to them instead of throwing it away. Freecycle is a non-profit organization which tries to connect people who have stuff they don't want, with people who can use it. There is now a local freecycle group for Stevens and Grants counties:
