A reminder to area residents from Cass County Engineer Charles Marker: primary access to the Cass County Landfill will be cut-off beginning this Wednesday, June 24th, due to a bridge replacement project. The roughly 100-foot bridge is along Jackson Road, to the west of the landfill. Once the road is closed, it will remain closed for approximately two-to three months, depending on the weather. The project is being paid for with 80-percent federal bridge replacement funds and a 20-percent local government match.

Effective Wednesday, you will no longer be able to access the landfill road via Highway 71. Persons needing to bring items to the landfill will need to take Highway 6 (WhitePole Road), east, to just west of Wiota, and then turn south onto 665th Street. Continue south until you see Jackson Road, and turn west to reach the landfill.
