Large items are not put at the curb loose. Residents pre-arrange and pre-pay bulk pickup through their city hauler, or use Anoka County's Household Hazardous Waste Facility and recycling directory for appliances, electronics, and hazardous materials.
Bulk disposal combines city hauler service and county drop-off sites. In Blaine, residents must schedule and pre-pay bulk item and appliance collection with Walters Recycling and Refuse before pickup day; Coon Rapids residents arrange bulk pickup with their licensed hauler. For hazardous materials, the Anoka County Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 3230 101st Avenue NE, Blaine, accepts paint, gasoline, oil, batteries, and similar wastes free with proof of county residency, but does not take appliances, electronics, or garbage. Those items use Anoka County's Recycling and Disposal Directory to find a drop-off. Illegal dumping of bulk items violates Minn. Stat. 609.68.
Dumping bulk items on public or private land without consent is a petty misdemeanor under Minn. Stat. 609.68; abandoned appliances may also be abated by the city at the owner's cost.
