WLSSD to Host Courtland Street Block Party
Duluth, MN – Western Lake Superior Sanitary District (WLSSD) will host the Courtland Street Block Party on Friday, April 21 from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm. The Earth Week event will be held at Both the Household Hazardous Waste Facility and the Yard Waste Compost Site on Courland Street.
Earth Day is an annual event celebrated around the world to demonstrate support for environmental protection. At WLSSD, protecting public health and the environment is all in a day’s work. Our staff work round the clock to protect our land and waters by helping to get your waste in the right place.
