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

Because Maple Grove uses an open-hauling system rather than municipal collection, there is no citywide bulk-pickup schedule. For large or oversized items, residents either arrange a pickup directly with their licensed garbage hauler or self-haul. The city directs residents that, 'If you have extra recycling or want to dispose of unique items such as batteries, appliances, tires, electronics, etc., visit the Hennepin County Recycling and Transfer Station in Brooklyn Park,' which borders Maple Grove. That facility accepts bulky and special-handling materials - including appliances, electronics, tires and household batteries - that may be banned from regular trash carts or require separate handling under Minnesota and Hennepin County rules. The city also operates the Maple Grove Yardwaste Site for yard and brush material, funded through utility bills, where most services are free for Maple Grove and area residents with ID. Disposal of any of these materials by abandoning or dumping them rather than using a permitted facility or licensed hauler is unlawful under Minnesota law (Minn. Stat. 609.68 littering; 609.671 unlawful solid waste disposal). Residents should confirm bulk-pickup availability and pricing with their specific hauler, since each hauler sets its own large-item service.
