PLEASE be aware of the recycling center when using it. Plastic bags are not recyclable here - the one container is merely for convenience purposes and that gets dumped in the trash.
NOTE we have had several occasions where these plastic bags have ended up all over the highway and other land instead of staying in the container. Please use caution when adding to the container, or take your bags home.
We have found some Toyota Keys in the yard at Sylvan Town Hall. If you have lost your keys and were here please reach out to the Lakes Country Toyota to retain them.

Sylvan Township was organized on April 2, 1912. The Township was named after Sylvan Lake, known for its beautiful evergreen woods. This community of roughly 2900 residents is located in the southern portion of Cass County, west of the City of Baxter and surrounds the City of Pillager. The Township is defined by its many lakes, rivers, agricultural, and wooded areas. Sylvan Township has the largest Native American burial mound groupings in the Mississippi Headwaters and one of the largest within the state of Minnesota.
