A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.

Filled bags and boxes

Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.

Empty cardboard and containers

Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.

Furniture and other larger items

Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

Bulky items and weekly collection

Accepted with preparation

Weekly collection comes from the licensed hauler the household chooses, recycling is required, and anything larger uses a one-time large item pickup, a transfer station trip or a rented container.

City cost & eligibility
The city licenses the haulers but sets no rate and treats fee disputes as a civil matter, so ask your hauler what the weekly service and a one-time large item pickup cost.
When & how
Use the collection day assigned to your residential hauling zone, and book furniture, appliances, mattresses and other large items with the hauler or take them to a county transfer station.
Get it ready
Place recyclables loose rather than in plastic bags, empty and dry containers and leave caps on, flatten boxes, keep batteries, food, plastic bags and wrap, shredded paper, styrofoam, tanglers and trash out of the recycling cart, and store containers where the city requires.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Pick a licensed hauler for weekly service

Apple Valley licenses private haulers instead of collecting refuse itself, the city is divided into residential hauling zones with an assigned collection day for each zone, and residents and businesses may choose any licensed hauler for service. The city is not authorized to intervene in service fee disputes.

Licensed haulers, hauling zones, container rules and recycling requirements

Recycling is required, and the cart has rules

Residents are required to recycle, recyclables go loose in the cart or a paper bag rather than in plastic bags, containers should be empty and dry with caps left on and boxes flattened, and batteries, food and liquids, paper plates and cups, plastic bags and wrap, shredded paper, styrofoam, tanglers such as chains and string lights, and trash stay out of the recycling cart.

Licensed haulers, hauling zones, container rules and recycling requirements

Large items need one of the county routes

The county tells residents with a large item to reuse or donate it first, then to call their hauler for a one-time large item pickup, bring it to a transfer station or landfill, order a temporary dumpster, or use a Bagster, and it asks residents to call the receiving sites for fees, hours and items accepted.

How to get rid of large items, with the county transfer station and landfill list

For your Dropcurb pickup

Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.

City of Apple Valley licensed trash haulers with Dakota County recycling programs

Book a one-time large item pickup with your licensed hauler

A household with a couch, mattress, appliance, exercise machine or other large item that will not fit a cart.

Cost & conditions
The city licenses the haulers and sets no rate, so ask the hauler you chose for the one-time large item charge before the pickup.
Arrange it
Call the licensed hauler for your address and book the pickup. The city lists Republic Services at (651) 455-8634, Aspen Waste Systems at (612) 884-8000, Dick's Sanitation Service at (952) 469-2239, Nitti Sanitation at (651) 457-7497 and Waste Management at (888) 960-0008 among the licensed haulers, and Apple Valley hauling information is at 952-895-4511.

The city assigns collection days by residential hauling zone but does not set rates and treats fee disputes as a civil matter, and the county Recycling Zone refuses appliances, furniture, mattresses, exercise equipment and project debris, so those items depend on the hauler or a receiving site.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Apple Valley runs on licensed private haulers rather than a city route, so weekly collection and any one-time large item pickup are arranged with the hauler the household chooses, and the city assigns the collection day by residential hauling zone without setting rates. Drop-off disposal runs through Dakota County: household chemicals, electronics, batteries, bulbs, tires and recyclables go to the Recycling Zone at 3365 Dodd Road in Eagan, food scraps go to the county site at the Apple Valley Central Maintenance Facility at 6442 140th St. W., yard waste goes to a county yard waste site because it may not go in the trash, and large items such as furniture, mattresses, appliances and project debris go to the hauler or to a transfer station or landfill from the county list, which asks residents to call for fees, hours and items accepted.

Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation.

Do I count every object inside a bag or box?

Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.

Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?

Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.

Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?

Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items.

Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.
