Household Hazardous Waste

Please do NOT place household Hazardous Waste in your garbage cart or recycling bin.

Minneapolis Solid Waste & Recycling works with Hennepin County Environmental Services to provide mobile drop-off sites for residents to bring in unwanted household hazardous waste/materials.

Visit the Solid Waste & Recycling What To Do List for information on what is considered Hazardous Waste, and not picked up by your garbage crew.

Visit the City of Minneapolis Environmental web site for information about mercury, fluorescent lamps, Ordinance, lead, and more.

When Minneapolis Household Hazardous Waste Collection sites are available they are posted in the “What’s New” section on our home page and with Hennepin County as listed below.
