Recycling in Isanti: A Local Guide
Isanti, in Isanti County about 35 miles north of Minneapolis, has two specialty recycling businesses that together cover tires and scrap metals — two material streams that most curbside programs do not accept. Neither facility handles paper, plastic, glass, or general household recyclables.
First State Tire Recycling at 1500 278th Lane NE is an industrial scrap-tire processor open to the public, businesses, and government entities alike. It accepts passenger, truck, and some recreational vehicle tires, as well as bare rims. Drop-off is walk-in during weekday hours (Monday–Friday 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM); no appointment is needed. Fees start at $1.25 per tire and vary by size and rim condition — call (763) 434-0578 to confirm pricing before you go. Tires are shredded on-site into Tire Derived Aggregate used in civil-engineering applications.
Miller Recycling at 30035 Buchanan St NE is a scrap-metal buying yard — the facility pays you for ferrous and non-ferrous metals, whole vehicles (title required), and catalytic converters (title required; 5-day check hold). It is open to the public Monday through Friday 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM with no appointment needed for standard drop-offs. Note that Miller does not accept water softeners, televisions, computer monitors, or phones/tablets. Roll-off container rental and large-load pick-up service are also available.
