Large items go through your hauler's bulk pickup or a drop-off. Wright County's Compost & Recycling Facility in Buffalo takes household hazardous waste, electronics, scrap metal, and yard waste. State law bans yard waste from the landfill.
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, chemicals, fluorescent bulbs, batteries, electronics, and scrap metal, the Wright County Compost & Recycling Facility in Buffalo accepts drop-offs from county residents. 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.
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.
