Recycling in East Bethel: A Local Guide
East Bethel, Minnesota sits in southern Anoka County along Highway 65, and residents have three distinct recycling options within the city limits — each serving a different kind of need. The East Bethel Recycling Center at 2761 Viking Boulevard NE is the city's own 24-hour drop-off facility, accepting aluminum cans, steel cans, glass, cardboard, mixed paper, newspapers, scrap metal, appliances, used motor oil, oil filters, antifreeze, automotive batteries, and clothing — free of charge, any time of day or night. On the last Saturday of each month, the city holds an attended recycling event at the same address from 9 a.m. to noon. Residents can also drop off small items like rechargeable batteries, cell phones, and printer cartridges at East Bethel City Hall (2241 221st Avenue NE) during business hours.
For appliances, electronics, and bulkier household materials, All Appliance Disposal at 18641 Highway 65 NE has been the north metro's go-to recycler since 2005, diverting over 30 million pounds of material from landfills. No appointment is needed Monday through Saturday for drop-offs. The business accepts refrigerators and freezers (Freon-containing included), washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers, water heaters, microwaves, TVs, computers, cell phones, mattresses, couches, carpet, tires, and fluorescent bulbs. Fees are modest — $5 for a bin of electronics up to 100 lbs, $15 for a refrigerator — and pickup service is available for an additional charge throughout the Minnesota north metro.
The third listing in East Bethel is U-Pull R-Parts at 20418 Highway 65 NE — a self-serve auto salvage yard open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. with over 3,500 vehicles in stock.

U-Pull R-Parts also purchases junk vehicles. For general household recyclables in the surrounding area, Anoka, Cambridge, Blaine, and Minneapolis all have additional options.
