Large items go through your hauler's bulk pickup or a drop-off site. Scott County runs a household hazardous-waste facility in Jordan for paint, chemicals, and batteries. State law bans yard waste from the landfill entirely.
Getting rid of a couch, mattress, or appliance usually means scheduling a bulk pickup with your hauler for a fee, or self-hauling to a licensed transfer station. Refrigerant appliances need the coolant removed first. For paint, cleaners, fluorescent bulbs, and batteries, Scott County operates a free household hazardous-waste facility at 588 Country Trail E in Jordan, open to residents across the nine-county metro region. Yard waste is a separate stream by law: MN Stat. 115A.931 bars it from mixed trash and disposal facilities, so grass, leaves, and brush go to compost sites, not the landfill. Electronics have their own recycling drop-offs.
Dumping bulk items, yard waste, or hazardous materials on a lot, roadside, or in the trash instead of an approved route is illegal dumping, drawing fines and cleanup costs under state and county solid-waste rules.
