Recycling in Coon Rapids: A Local Guide
Coon Rapids is Anoka County's largest city in the northern Twin Cities metro, and it is home to two county-connected recycling facilities that together handle materials not collected at the curb — from food scraps and tree trimmings to old televisions and appliances. Both sites are open to Anoka County residents, who must show proof of residency.
The Anoka County Bunker Hills Compost Site at 13285 Hanson Blvd NW, inside Bunker Hills Regional Park, accepts yard waste (grass, leaves, garden waste, sod), tree waste (brush, logs, wood chips), and food scraps/organics free of charge. The first four cubic yards of yard waste and the first two cubic yards of small tree waste (under 6 inches) are free; larger or heavier loads follow a tiered fee schedule. As of 2026, whole stumps are no longer accepted. From April 1 through November 30 the site is open Monday–Friday 10 AM–7 PM, Saturday 9 AM–5 PM, and Sunday noon–5 PM; from December through March it operates Saturdays only, 9 AM–1 PM, weather permitting. Grass and leaves must be debagged on arrival.
The city-run Coon Rapids Recycling Center at 1827 111th Avenue NW specializes in hard-to-recycle items: corrugated cardboard, glass, plastics #1/#2/#4/#5/#6, packing styrofoam (blocks only), waste motor oil, batteries (automotive, household, and rechargeable — no e-bike batteries), appliances, and electronics including TVs. Large appliances cost $15 each; small appliances are $1 per pound; tube and flat-screen TV fees range from $25 to $60. The center is open Tuesday–Saturday, 9 AM–3 PM (Wednesday shifts to 1–7 PM from April through September). A Reuse Room lets residents drop off or pick up usable household items at no cost.
