City collection Furniture and other large household items have no city or county drop-off in Burnsville, so the route runs through the licensed hauler a household chose or through a reuse option. The County Recycling Zone refuses furniture, the shared department's summer event refuses furniture including futons, and Burnsville licenses haulers instead of publishing a bulky item rate, so the charge is whatever the household's hauler quotes for a large item. Confirm the price and the preparation the hauler wants before the item goes to the curb.
City collection Mattresses and box springs are refused at the county Recycling Zone and accepted at the shared department's summer drop-off event, which charges for each piece. $20 per mattress or box spring at the Dakota Valley Recycling summer drop-off event, where a reusable piece is directed to donation instead. Residents of Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan and Lakeville only, at the annual event held at the Burnsville public works yard on its published date. The county Recycling Zone does not accept mattresses or box springs at all.
City collection The county Recycling Zone refuses appliances, so the household route is the shared department's summer drop-off event, a retailer take away or the chosen hauler. $5 per appliance at the Dakota Valley Recycling summer drop-off event, which covers washers, dryers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, dishwashers, freezers, furnaces, microwaves, refrigerators, ovens and water heaters, with water softeners priced separately. Residents of Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan and Lakeville only, at the annual event at the Burnsville public works yard on its published date. The county Recycling Zone refuses appliances outright.
City collection Every Burnsville household picks a hauler from the City's licensed list, and that hauler collects trash and recycling curbside every week with recycling always included in the account. Burnsville licenses private haulers rather than running a city contract and states that it does not handle pickup or negotiate pricing, so each hauler sets its own monthly rate and container sizes. Confirm the rate, the container and whether yard waste is included with the hauler you choose.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Burnsville does not run one citywide collection contract. The City licenses private haulers, does not handle pickup or negotiate pricing, and tells residents to pick a company from the licensed list because each one sets its own rates, while recycling service is always included with the trash account. Trash and recycling are collected weekly at the curb sometime between 6:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. on the hauler's scheduled day, yard waste pickup is optional and usually costs extra, and anything larger than a normal set out is between the household and its hauler. Two shared programs carry the material a hauler will not. Dakota Valley Recycling, the department Burnsville shares with Apple Valley, Eagan and Lakeville, holds a summer drop-off event at the Burnsville public works yard where appliances, electronics, mattresses, exercise equipment and scrap metal are taken for a fee, and the department is careful to say that it is not itself a drop-off site. The Dakota County Recycling Zone in Eagan takes household chemicals, electronics, scrap metal and tires, free except for a charge on screens and on tires, and it refuses appliances, furniture, mattresses, exercise equipment, wood and yard waste. A local landfill and a mulch site inside Burnsville are the nearest disposal sites the City lists for the loads that neither program accepts.
Weekly curbside trash and recycling through your hauler
Accepted with preparation
Every Burnsville household picks a hauler from the City's licensed list, and that hauler collects trash and recycling curbside every week with recycling always included in the account.
City cost & eligibility
Burnsville licenses private haulers rather than running a city contract and states that it does not handle pickup or negotiate pricing, so each hauler sets its own monthly rate and container sizes. Confirm the rate, the container and whether yard waste is included with the hauler you choose.
When & how
Trash and recycling every week on the hauler's scheduled day for the address, with collection any time between 6:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. Yard waste pickup is optional and typically costs extra, and it runs on the hauler's own schedule.
Get it ready
Use the container sizes the hauler offers and follow that hauler's set out instructions, because the City publishes the licensing structure and the collection window rather than one uniform curb rule. A household that moves in or wants a different container calls the hauler directly, and a multi unit property is handled through the separately licensed commercial and multifamily list.
Furniture and other large household items have no city or county drop-off in Burnsville, so the route runs through the licensed hauler a household chose or through a reuse option.
City cost & eligibility
The County Recycling Zone refuses furniture, the shared department's summer event refuses furniture including futons, and Burnsville licenses haulers instead of publishing a bulky item rate, so the charge is whatever the household's hauler quotes for a large item. Confirm the price and the preparation the hauler wants before the item goes to the curb.
When & how
By arrangement with the chosen hauler, on a day the hauler sets for a large item rather than on the regular collection day.
Get it ready
Describe the item and its condition when booking, and keep it out of the regular containers. A piece that is still usable is worth offering for donation or reuse first, because neither the county zone nor the summer event will take furniture at any price.
Mattresses and box springs are refused at the county Recycling Zone and accepted at the shared department's summer drop-off event, which charges for each piece.
City cost & eligibility
$20 per mattress or box spring at the Dakota Valley Recycling summer drop-off event, where a reusable piece is directed to donation instead. Residents of Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan and Lakeville only, at the annual event held at the Burnsville public works yard on its published date. The county Recycling Zone does not accept mattresses or box springs at all.
When & how
At the annual summer drop-off event on its published date, with the 2026 event running June 6 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., so confirm the next date with the shared department before holding the piece.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress and box spring dry and out of the weather, and bring the piece to the event rather than setting it out for the regular hauler. Ask about donation first if the mattress is in good condition, because a reusable piece can go to a charitable reuse partner instead of the fee.
The county Recycling Zone refuses appliances, so the household route is the shared department's summer drop-off event, a retailer take away or the chosen hauler.
City cost & eligibility
$5 per appliance at the Dakota Valley Recycling summer drop-off event, which covers washers, dryers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, dishwashers, freezers, furnaces, microwaves, refrigerators, ovens and water heaters, with water softeners priced separately. Residents of Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan and Lakeville only, at the annual event at the Burnsville public works yard on its published date. The county Recycling Zone refuses appliances outright.
When & how
At the annual summer drop-off event on its published date, or on a day the household's hauler sets for a large item.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance and remove the doors from a refrigerator or freezer before it is moved, and ask the retailer to take the old unit away when a new one is delivered. Water softeners and other bulky metal units are quoted separately at the event, so ask when the load is unloaded.
The county Recycling Zone takes electronics year round and charges only on televisions and computer monitors, with the shared department's summer event a second option at a higher price for screens.
City cost & eligibility
$10 per television or computer monitor at the county Recycling Zone, where every other accepted item is free and tires are priced separately by size. Residents of Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott and Washington counties, arriving in a vehicle with the items in the trunk or the very back and a credit card or exact change ready for the screen fee.
When & how
Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., Thursday from noon to 8 p.m., Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., closed on the listed county holidays, or at the shared department's summer drop-off event on its published date.
Get it ready
Keep the device intact and dry, remove batteries from small electronics and bring them separately in their own bag or container, and have the load in the trunk so staff can unload it without anyone leaving the vehicle. Personal data on computers and drives is destroyed to a federal standard at the county site.
Neither the county zone nor the shared department's drop-off event takes construction material, so a project load goes to a private hauler or the local landfill the City lists.
City cost & eligibility
Burnsville publishes no city construction collection, the county Recycling Zone refuses wood products and lumber, and the shared department's summer event refuses construction and demolition material. A project load is therefore arranged with a private hauler or taken to a landfill the City lists, and both set their own prices, so confirm the acceptance, the hours and the price with the receiving site.
When & how
By arrangement with a private hauler or at the local landfill during its own hours, never on the usual trash day.
Get it ready
Keep construction material out of the containers and out of the county drop-off, because both refuse it. Sort loads where the receiving site asks for it, and check the site's acceptance list and prices before loading a trailer or truck.
Exercise equipment is refused at the county Recycling Zone and accepted at the shared department's summer drop-off event, where each piece is charged.
City cost & eligibility
$10 per piece of exercise equipment such as a treadmill or elliptical at the Dakota Valley Recycling summer drop-off event. Residents of Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan and Lakeville only, at the annual event at the Burnsville public works yard on its published date. The county Recycling Zone refuses exercise equipment.
When & how
At the annual summer drop-off event on its published date, or by arrangement with the household's hauler if the hauler takes large items.
Get it ready
Take the machine down as far as it comes apart so it can be unloaded quickly, and keep the loose weights with the frame. Batteries come out of anything electronic, and the load should sit together in the vehicle so it can be unloaded in one pass.
Burnsville licenses private companies to collect residential trash and recycling and does not handle the pickup or negotiate the pricing itself. A household chooses any company from the licensed list and deals with that company directly for the account, the containers, the pickup day and anything larger than a normal set out.
Trash and recycling are collected weekly at the curb between 6:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. on the hauler's scheduled day, with recycling always included in the account. Yard waste pickup is optional and typically costs extra, and haulers offer different container sizes and prices, so two neighbors on different haulers can pay differently for the same house.
The county Recycling Zone in Eagan takes household chemicals, electronics, small household electronics, scrap metal and tires year round, free except for the charge on televisions, monitors and tires. The shared department's summer drop-off event adds appliances, mattresses, exercise equipment, power equipment and paper shredding for a fee on its published date. Neither one takes furniture, and the county site refuses appliances, mattresses, exercise equipment, wood and yard waste.
At the county site, stay in the vehicle, keep everything except sharps in the trunk or the very back so staff can unload it, label containers and stand them upright in a box you can leave behind, and flatten cardboard to no more than three feet by three feet. At the summer event, remove batteries from electronics, drain fluids from power equipment, and group like material together in the vehicle.
The county guide tells a reader to call ahead and verify a site's material and hours, and the shared department points residents at reuse and donation before recycling wherever that is possible. Furniture, a newer mattress and a working appliance are the items most worth offering for reuse, because the county site refuses all three and the summer event refuses furniture.
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 Burnsville licensed haulers with Dakota Valley Recycling and the Dakota County Recycling Zone
Pick a licensed hauler
Any Burnsville household, since the City licenses haulers instead of running one citywide contract.
Cost & conditions
The City licenses the haulers and states that it does not negotiate pricing, so the monthly rate, the container sizes and the charge for a large item are all set by the hauler a household chooses. Confirm the rate, the container and the hauler's own large item policy when you sign up.
Arrange it
Call a company from the licensed list, ask about the rate, the container sizes, the pickup day and the large item policy, and start the account with that hauler. Recycling is always included with the service.
The hauler handles the account and its own large items, and the City does not arbitrate pricing, so the same house can be quoted differently by two licensed companies.
City of Burnsville licensed haulers with Dakota Valley Recycling and the Dakota County Recycling Zone
Dakota Valley Recycling summer drop-off event
A household in Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan or Lakeville with an appliance, a mattress or box spring, exercise equipment, a screen, other electronics, power equipment, scrap metal or confidential documents.

All payment forms are accepted. Confirm the current schedule and the next event date with the shared department before holding the load.
Arrange it

Listed by the City as the local landfill or dump for residents. The retained City page gives the address and the phone number only, and the operator's own facility page refused automated access, so confirm the accepted material with the site before loading.
No acceptance list, hour range or price is published on the retained pages. The City separately lists The Mulch Store at 1101 W County Road 42 in Burnsville for yard material, and the county Recycling Zone refuses wood products and lumber.
Not published on the retained City page, so confirm the site's hours and the load acceptance with the operator before hauling.
The City lists the landfill as a local disposal site with an address and phone number but publishes no tipping fee, so confirm the price, the accepted material and the hours with the operator before the load leaves the property.
Prices, timing and the details that matter at your address.
How much does pickup cost?+
Choose your items to see the exact price. A standard sofa is $79 first and $29 additional. The highest first-item price applies once; every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Review any applicable sales tax and the final total before payment.
Can I book a pickup for today?+
Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Choose from the dates shown at checkout. Your booking is for a pickup day, and we text you when your hauler is on the way.
Do my items need to be outside when I book?+
You can book while your items are still inside. Arrange any indoor carrying and have everything outside and accessible according to your confirmation. We load and haul it away from there. Contact us before booking if your property has restricted access.
Where does a couch go in Burnsville?+
To your hauler as a large item collection, because Burnsville licenses private haulers instead of running a bulky item program and each hauler quotes its own price. The county Recycling Zone refuses furniture and the summer drop-off event refuses it too, so a reusable couch is better offered for donation.Official guidance
How does a mattress get recycled in Burnsville?+
Bring it to the Dakota Valley Recycling summer drop-off event at the Burnsville public works yard on the event date, where each mattress or box spring is charged a fee and residents of the four member cities are the ones allowed in. The county Recycling Zone refuses mattresses, so there is no year round county drop-off for bedding, and a usable mattress is better donated.Official guidance
Where does an appliance go?+
To the Dakota Valley Recycling summer drop-off event at the Burnsville public works yard, where each appliance is charged a fee and the four member cities' residents are the ones allowed in. The county Recycling Zone refuses appliances, and a retailer that delivers a new appliance will often take the old one away.Official guidance
Where do televisions and monitors go?+
To the Dakota County Recycling Zone in Eagan, which takes screens year round for a fee while every other accepted item is free, or to the summer drop-off event, where the page itself notes that the county zone is the cheaper place for a screen. Computers, laptops, printers, phones and small electronics are accepted without a screen fee.Official guidance
Who collects the trash in Burnsville?+
A private company from the City's licensed hauler list collects it, because Burnsville licenses haulers instead of running one city contract and states that it does not handle pickup or negotiate pricing. Recycling service is always included in the account.Official guidance
How do I find my pickup day?+
Ask the hauler you chose, or use the City's neighborhood map to look up the hauler and pickup day for an address. Collection happens between 6:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. on that scheduled day, and recycling rides the same weekly visit.Official guidance
Is the summer drop-off event every year?+
Yes, the shared department holds it annually at the Burnsville public works yard for residents of the four member cities, with a per item fee and a published date. The 2026 date has already passed, so confirm the next one before holding appliances, bedding or a machine.Official guidance
When is the Recycling Zone open?+
The county site in Eagan publishes four drop-off days: Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., Thursday from noon to 8 p.m., Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. It also closes on the listed county holidays, and no other drop-off days are published.Official guidance
What if my item can still be used?+
Offer it for reuse or donation first. The county guide is built for looking up where an item can go and tells a reader to call ahead to check the site, and the shared department points residents to reuse before recycling, which matters most for furniture, a newer mattress and a working appliance because the county site refuses all three.Official guidance
