Good decisions are based on knowledge. Our goal is to teach Olmsted County residents how to make the most of our resources through an understanding of how and why our Integrated Solid Waste Management System provides a proper place for waste.

Effective waste education helps us all to become stewards of our environment.

The OWEF produces steam and electricity which is provided to 30+ buildings in the Olmsted County District Energy System (OCDES). The OWEF reduces the volume of waste sent to a landfill by about 90%.

To report illegal garbage dumping within the City of Rochester, call Rochester Community Development at 507-328-2950.

To report illegal garbage dumping outside of Rochester's city limits, call the Olmsted County Planning Department at 507-328-7100.
