Storm debris drop off site near Ely to close October 28 

St. Louis County will be closing its final storm debris drop-off site set up following the destructive July windstorms. The Skala Pit, located on Highway 21, approximately 1.5 miles south of Ely, and a quarter of a mile south the Sotlich Road, will close on October 28. It has been open since early August, giving residents a place to drop off branches  and other tree debris blown down during summer storms.


Public use of the site has decreased in recent weeks, indicating that it is no longer needed.
