Recycling in Brooklyn Park: A Local Guide
Brooklyn Park, Hennepin County's second-largest city and a major northwestern suburb of Minneapolis, is served by two very different recycling and waste-diversion resources. One is a full-service county drop-off facility accepting hazardous household waste; the other is an eco-first junk removal company that sorts loads for donation and recycling before anything reaches a landfill.
Hennepin County Recycling and Transfer Station at 8100 Jefferson Hwy is a county-run drop-off facility open Tuesday through Saturday, 9 AM–5 PM (closed Sunday and Monday). It accepts household hazardous waste, electronics, large appliances, batteries, cardboard, glass, metal, paper, plastics, organics, tires, TVs, and mattresses. Many materials are accepted free of charge; fees apply for tires ($5 each), TVs and monitors ($10 each), large appliances ($15 each), and mattresses ($25 each). Household hazardous waste is accepted from residents of Hennepin, Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Ramsey, Scott, and Washington counties — proof of residency such as a driver's license or utility bill is required at entry.
The Junkluggers of Minneapolis St. Paul, operating from 8201 Brooklyn Blvd STE 100, is an appointment-based junk removal and hauling company — not a public drop-off facility. Crews come to homes and businesses throughout the Twin Cities metro to haul away furniture, appliances, electronics, mattresses, construction debris, yard items, office equipment, and more. Every load is sorted for donation-eligible goods (delivered to local nonprofits, with a tax-deductible receipt issued within 14 days) and recyclable materials (electronics are e-cycled; cardboard and wood are recycled) before any remainder goes to disposal. Pricing is volume-based with a free on-site estimate required before work begins. Appointments are available seven days a week.
