Recycling in Burnsville: A Local Guide
Burnsville has 3 recycling and waste facilities in our directory, from a Waste Management hauler yard to a sanitary landfill and a private recycler. For household collection, Burnsville uses an open-collection system: the city licenses several haulers, but residents choose and contract their own. Curbside recycling is always included with trash service, and picking a larger recycling cart never raises your rate. Recycling guidance is coordinated through Dakota Valley Recycling (a joint program of Burnsville, Apple Valley and Eagan). Accepted items include paper, cardboard, cartons, metal cans, glass bottles and jars, and plastics #1, #2 and #5; batteries, scrap metal, plastic bags and Styrofoam are not accepted in the cart.

Frequently Asked Questions — Recycling in Burnsville
Does Burnsville provide city recycling pickup?
Not directly. Burnsville has open collection, meaning the city licenses several haulers but does not collect trash or recycling itself. Residents choose a licensed hauler such as Aspen Waste, Dick's Sanitation, Nitti Sanitation, Highland Sanitation or Republic Services, and each sets its own rates.
Is recycling included when I sign up for trash service?
Yes. In Burnsville, recycling service is always included with trash pickup. Small, medium and large recycling carts are available, and choosing a larger cart will never increase your monthly rate.
What can I put in my Burnsville recycling cart?
Place loose (not bagged) paper, cardboard, milk and juice cartons, aluminum/tin/steel cans, glass bottles and jars, and plastic bottles, jugs and tubs numbered #1, #2 or #5. Leave caps on and flatten boxes. Keep out batteries, black plastic, textiles, food, plastic bags and Styrofoam.
Where do I take items that aren't allowed in the cart?
Hard-to-recycle items like batteries, electronics and household hazardous waste go to The Recycling Zone, the Dakota County drop-off facility, rather than your curbside cart. Certified Recycling LLC in Burnsville is another private option for certain materials.
