Curbside Appliances Collection Event

Monday, May 22nd | 7:00 a.m. | $16 per appliance

The Environmental Resource Commission (ERC) is once again sponsoring the curbside collection of used appliances. This is a convenient and cost-effective way to ensure that your used appliance(s) are properly recycled, and hazardous materials are kept out of the air and water.

To participate in the 2023 Curbside Collection of used appliances event, we ask that you call City Hall at 763-421-8100 or fill out our online form below by Tuesday, May 16th to be included on the Monday, May 22nd route. The cost will be placed on your utility bill.

The City has contracted with A1 Appliance out of Anoka for this event. Collection will start at 7:00 AM and continue throughout the day, please have your items out by then. Appliance(s) must be placed at the end of your driveway or on the curb for removal. Your appliance(s) will not be removed if it is not at the curb/end of driveway by 7:00 AM. A1 Appliance will not come back around. Before setting your appliance(s) out, please ensure they are in a non-compacted condition and free of food, debris, or other foreign material. 

If an unauthorized person comes to collect your appliance(s), please call 911 as there are scrappers that will take the appliance(s), strip out the valuable parts, and improperly dispose of the remaining elements.

The recycler retains the right to refuse any appliances deemed to be in a compacted or destroyed, which could prevent the proper removal of hazardous waste and/or refrigerants according to law.
