Recycling Centers in Andover, Minnesota

Andover Recycling Center

The Andover Recycling Center, located at 1825 Crosstown Blvd NW, Andover, MN 55304, offers recycling services to all city residents. Open daily from 8 am to 8 pm, the center accepts aluminum beverage cans, steel food cans, plastic bottles (caps on), glass food and beverage jars, paper (junk mail, magazines, newspapers), corrugated cardboard (flattened), motor vehicle batteries, propane tanks (up to 20 lb), scrap metal (free of glass, plastic, wood, or rubber), and used motor oil (uncontaminated). Notably, the center does not pay for aluminum scrap metal and does not accept books. Visitors are reminded to place recycling items loose in containers, avoid plastic bags, and break down cardboard to prevent overflow. Specific instructions include placing antifreeze containers next to the motor oil tank, disposing of used oil filters properly, and contacting Bikes4Kids for bicycle donations. Additionally, visitors are advised to take other hazardous waste materials to the Anoka County Household Hazardous Waste Facility in Blaine. The center emphasizes cleanliness and organization, urging patrons to only drop off accepted items. For more information, visitors can contact Sarah Morgan, the Recycling Coordinator, during the center's operating hours.
