Location and hours
The drop-off site is at 215 South 37th Ave. West, Duluth, past Bayside Recycling if you take the 40th Ave. West exit. The company says it's the former "Normandy Roll-Off" drop-off location. The company page lists hours as Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. (Twin Ports Trailer Trash drop-off page). Some map listings show shorter Saturday hours, so call 218-206-7225 before a Saturday trip.
A FOX21 report (May 2024) described the setup: staff look at your load and quote a price, then you unload it yourself or they help. The Western Lake Superior Sanitary District lists the site as a solid waste transfer station (WLSSD licensed facility list).

What it won't take
The company's page says it doesn't accept roofing, concrete, railroad ties, propane tanks, fluorescent bulbs, plaster, dirt, paint, hazardous waste, liquids, food waste or household garbage. (The WLSSD's listing mentions brush and concrete, so ask before bringing either.) Regular bagged household trash belongs in your curbside service or at a public transfer station.
