Tech Dump in Golden Valley is the neighborhood dump for household cleanouts and small projects. Locals and contractors swing by when curbside or recycling won't cut it, and it sits on Boone Ave N not far from the busy strip of businesses nearby.
A small entrance booth and scale are likely at the drive-in; vehicles usually pull up to the booth, get directed where to unload, and then stop at the scale again as part of the process. The site looks like a typical municipal dump - piles, compactors, and rows of containers - with traffic flow that depends on how busy the day is. Minnesota winters mean things can be different in cold months, so some people find indoor drop-off options common around the area when weather turns harsh. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be the busiest, so lines at the entrance are not unusual.

Before You Go
- Bring loads already sorted and secured in the truck or trailer; unloading goes faster when things are organized by material type.
- Avoid peak times if possible - weekend mornings and spring weekends often have the longest waits.
- Have a plan for where to pull up and how to exit: the entrance booth will direct traffic, and keeping the load ready to tip cuts down on time on site.
