Hennepin County Transfer Station & Dump — Hours, Fees & Where Garbage Goes

Hennepin County runs two drop-off facilities, in Brooklyn Park and Bloomington, open Tuesday to Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. They take household hazardous waste, electronics, appliances ($15), tires ($5) and, at Brooklyn Park, mattresses ($25). They do not take household garbage.

For a load of trash, Minneapolis garbage customers use the City's South Transfer Station with a free voucher. Everyone else uses a private transfer station: Hennepin County lists SKB in Minneapolis and Dem-Con in Blaine and Shakopee as taking household garbage.
