Finish clearing the space
The last few things still deserve a pickup.
You have decided what is going. Now give those bags and boxes a pickup day, with a price you can see before anyone arrives.
The move is nearly done.
Book the unwanted bags and boxes left after packing. Choose an available pickup day before you hand back the keys, and arrange to have them outside.
The clear-out can be finished.
You do not need a whole house of junk. Select the bags, boxes and larger items you actually have. Your combined price is shown online.
You want to know it is handled.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
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.

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.
Cost & conditions
The event charges by the piece rather than a single gate fee: one price for each appliance with water softeners priced separately, one price each for power equipment and for exercise equipment, a price by the load for scrap metal, a size based price for a television or monitor, a per piece price for bedding, and a set price for other residential electronics, while laptops, computer towers, phones, tablets and media players are free and shredding is free within a per vehicle limit. All payment forms are accepted. Confirm the current schedule and the next event date with the shared department before holding the load.
Arrange it
Wait for the published event date, load similar material together with all fluids drained and all batteries removed, bring the load to the Burnsville public works yard on 13713 Frontier Ct, and unload it with staff while staying with the vehicle.
The event runs once a year on one published date, is limited to residents of the four member cities, and refuses hazardous waste, batteries, furniture including futons, air mattresses, construction and demolition material, and tires.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Burnsville.
How much does bulk junk removal cost in Burnsville?+
A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.
Can you pick up bags of junk today?+
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. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.
Do I count every object inside a bag or box?+
No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. 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. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.
How do I start trash and recycling service?+
Choose a company from the City's licensed hauler list and call it directly, because the City licenses the haulers but does not set up accounts. Recycling is always included with the service, and the hauler sets the rate, the container sizes and the pickup day.Official guidance
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
Where does construction debris go?+
To a private hauler or the local landfill the City lists in Burnsville, because the county Recycling Zone refuses wood and lumber and the shared department's drop-off event refuses construction and demolition material. The City publishes the landfill's address and phone number but no acceptance list or price, so confirm both before hauling.Official guidance
Where does a treadmill go?+
To the Dakota Valley Recycling summer drop-off event at the Burnsville public works yard, where exercise equipment such as a treadmill or elliptical is charged by the piece and the four member cities' residents are the ones allowed in. The county Recycling Zone refuses exercise equipment, so there is no year round county drop-off for a machine.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
