Recycling centers in Andover, Minnesota

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).
