Will the city take it?
Eagan runs an open collection system. The city licenses private haulers and requires curbside recycling, but it collects no garbage and runs no bulky-item route of its own. A one-time large-item pickup comes from the hauler on your account, and the county and its transfer stations handle the rest. The Dakota County Recycling Zone sits inside Eagan at 3365 Dodd Road and takes electronics, tires and household hazardous waste, while appliances, furniture and mattresses have to go to a transfer station or a Dakota Valley Recycling event.

City of Eagan, Dakota Valley Recycling and licensed residential haulers
Arrange a one-time pickup with your licensed hauler
Households with a couch, mattress, appliance, television or exercise machine that will not fit the curbside carts.
Cost & conditions
Each licensed hauler sets its own one-time large-item price and its own list of what it will take. Ask for the price when you book.
Arrange it
Call the hauler that collects your garbage, or one of the other licensed haulers on the city list, and describe the exact items and where they will sit. County guidance points residents to their hauler for a one-time large-item pickup.
Eagan has no citywide bulky-item collection, so what each hauler accepts, prices and asks you to do at the curb varies by company.
City of Eagan, Dakota Valley Recycling and licensed residential haulers
Use the Dakota Valley Recycling drop-off event
Eagan households with appliances, mattresses, box springs, exercise equipment, scrap metal or electronics, including screens.
Cost & conditions
The published 2026 event charged per item: appliances $5 each with water softeners at $30, power equipment and exercise equipment $10 each, scrap metal $5 per load, televisions and monitors $25 to $45 by size, other electronics $10 each, and mattresses or box springs $20 per piece. Laptops, towers, phones and tablets were free. Confirm the current event prices.
Arrange it
Eagan is one of the four cities Dakota Valley Recycling serves, so residents can use its events. Check the collection and swap events page for the current date, time and location, then load one vehicle and stay in it on arrival.
It is a one-day event rather than a year-round route. The published drop-off did not accept furniture including futons, air mattresses, tires, batteries or construction material.
Start with management at an apartment or shared building
Residents of apartments, condominiums, townhomes and other multi-unit buildings that use a shared hauler or dumpster.
Cost & conditions
The property owner, manager or its private hauler sets the arrangement and the price for removing a large item.
Arrange it
Ask the property manager how the building handles a large item and whether the shared hauler will take it. Multi-unit and commercial hauling is licensed separately from the household list.
Do not put a large item out under the single-family collection rules without confirming the building arrangement. Buildings with four or more attached units and a shared contract must meet the county recycling requirements instead.
Eagan collects no garbage of its own, so a self-haul trip is a normal route for a large item. The Dakota County Recycling Zone at 3365 Dodd Road in Eagan takes electronics, tires and household hazardous waste, but it does not take appliances, furniture, mattresses or exercise equipment. For those, use a transfer station: Dakota Area Transfer in Rosemount takes furniture, appliances, mattresses, electronics and construction debris, and Freeway Transfer in Burnsville takes couches, stoves, carpet, drywall and project debris. Call the facility with your exact items and load before you leave home, and check the published public drop-off hours.
