Construction Debris: What You Can (and Can't) Take to the Dump
Renovating your home? Drywall, lumber, concrete, and roofing materials have different disposal rules than regular trash. Here's what to know.
Read more →Hoss Demolition & Recycling is the small recycling center on MN‑371 in Walker that locals use to drop off curbside overflow, demolition scraps and odd items that don't fit in the regular bin. Neighbors, contractors and folks doing spring cleanups tend to stop here because it handles a range of construction and household materials.
The site sits right off the highway at 8533 MN‑371, with a low office/booth near the entrance and larger open yards and roll‑off areas beyond it. Expect piles and containers of mixed metals, wood and common recyclables on the lot; recycling centers in this area often accept paper, cardboard, metals, glass, some plastics and bulky items, and sometimes have programs for electronics or appliances. Drive up to the booth/scale area first, then pull forward to the appropriate bin or pile for unloading; trucks and trailers are common, and weekend traffic can stack up during busy cleanup times. In winter the yard can be plowed but surfaces get icy, so surfaces look different across seasons and indoor drop‑off areas are used at colder times in Minnesota.
