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

The bulk-item rule in Roseville starts with the definition in section 401.02. Special waste means large appliances, furniture, oversized materials, including mattresses and carpeting, automotive parts, including tires and batteries, scrap metal, brush and tree trimmings more than six inches in diameter, tree stumps, Christmas trees, construction and demolition debris and other materials collected, processed and disposed of as a separate waste stream. That list is broader than a typical curbside set-out: it reaches household furniture and carpeting, vehicle parts, and building debris.

The six-inch diameter matters for brush. Under the same section, brush and tree trimmings less than six inches in diameter are other refuse, while the same material over six inches moves into special waste.

Section 401.06(3) requires that special waste be separately placed out for collection, so a mattress or an old appliance cannot be left inside or on top of the container that holds ordinary garbage. Section 401.07(a) applies the same placement timing used for other solid waste: special waste containers at a residential dwelling must be out of public view except on the day of pickup, can go to the curb before 7:00 a.m., and cannot remain there longer than 24 consecutive hours. Section 401.03 requires each dwelling to arrange collection of solid wastes with a hauler licensed in the city, and the city manager can approve exceptions for environmentally sound alternatives. The Chapter 401 sections printed in the Code do not publish a bulk pickup calendar, tag requirement or item fee, so those terms sit in the hauler's service arrangement rather than in the ordinance.
