Electronics recycling has never been easier or more important. Most electronics contain toxic metals such as lead, mercury and cadmium. If any of these contaminants get into our rivers, streams or lakes, they can harm our health and damage the environment.
Hennepin County takes electronics free of charge, year-round, from residents at drop-off facilities in Brooklyn Park and Bloomington.
- South Hennepin Recycling and Problem Waste Drop-Off Center
1400 W. 96th St., Bloomington - Hennepin County Recycling Center and Transfer Station
8100 Jefferson Highway, Brooklyn Park
The facilities are open Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Wednesdays: 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; and Saturdays: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Electronics accepted include TVs, computers (CPUs monitors, laptops), computer peripherals (keyboards, printers, etc...), VCRs, DVD players, stereos and more. Some quantity limits apply. These items are accepted from households only. Electronics from businesses are not accepted at the facilities.
