Minneapolis Refuse Inc is a local waste disposal site serving households and small haulers in north Minneapolis. People drop off residential loads and smaller contractor debris here; it's the sort of place neighbors use when curbside pickup won't cut it.
Drive up to an entrance booth and be ready to stop for directions; many sites have a scale so expect to pause on the way in and again on the way out if charges are by weight. The yard is mostly open with large roll-off containers and paved driving areas, and vehicles pull up to bins or a tipping area to unload. In Minnesota winters, some facilities offer indoor drop-off options nearby, so be prepared for cold and the possibility of moving around to find the correct pile or container. Weekends and spring cleanup see the longest lines, while midweek visits tend to move faster.

Before You Go
- Bring a document that shows the local address if proof of residency might be required.
- Secure and cover loose loads before driving in; straps and tarps save time and prevent debris on the road.
- Separate materials as much as possible before arriving to speed up unloading and reduce handling time.
