Recycling centers in Minnetonka, Minnesota

Businesses and residents can drop off household recyclables and organic material at the Minnetonka Hopkins Recycling Drop-off Center located at 11511 Minnetonka Blvd. Accepted items include all recyclables accepted in the city's curbside recycling program, with a specific note to flatten all cardboard. In the designated organics dumpster, only specific items such as food, food-soiled paper products, coffee grounds, hair and nail clippings, houseplants, and certified compostable products are accepted, all of which must be bagged in a BPI certified compostable bag or paper bag. Not accepted items include garbage, brush, yard waste, Styrofoam, construction or demolition materials, furniture, and plastic bags. The drop-off center is under video surveillance, and leaving unaccepted items may result in a $1,000 fine and up to 90 days in jail. Visitors can find locations that accept plastic bags as well.
