Most construction and cleanout debris can go in your container. Minnesota law and the landfill that takes your load set the limits.
Minnesota keeps several common items out of the trash. State law bars yard waste from mixed trash and disposal sites, a rule that has applied in the Twin Cities metro counties, including Anoka, since 1990. It also bans TVs and monitors with picture tubes from the trash, and major appliances must be recycled.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, propane tanks, car batteries, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster either.
For household chemicals, Anoka County runs a free drop-off site for residents in Blaine. It takes paint, fuel, propane tanks, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, and similar products, but not appliances, electronics, tires, or asbestos.
If you're not sure about an item, ask your account manager before it goes in.
