Blaine, MN Trash & Recycling: Bulk Item Disposal (2026)

Bulk and appliance disposal in Blaine runs through the City's contracted hauler, Walters Recycling and Refuse. Residents must call to schedule bulk item collection. Those without the premium service level must contact Walters at 763-780-8464 before their pickup day to pre-pay for bulk collection; all appliance and bulk item services are to be pre-paid. The premium 96-gallon service level includes the collection of 6 bulk items per calendar year, with additional items charged per Walters' Bulk Fee Schedule. The City notes that in 2017 the City Council voted to remove the collection of construction debris and carpet from the program, so those materials are not eligible for curbside bulk pickup and must be taken to an appropriate disposal site. Appliances such as refrigerators and other large items are accepted on a pre-paid basis. For materials outside the bulk program, residents can use Anoka County facilities and private sites; household hazardous waste goes to the Anoka County drop-off facility at 3230 101st Avenue NE in Blaine. Scheduling and fee questions are handled by Walters at 763-780-8464; program questions go to the City's recycling staff.
