The Recycling Zone is the Dakota County recycling center, located in Eagan. The Recycling Zone is publicly run, offering a place for residents to properly dispose of items that cannot be thrown in the trash such as lawnmowers, plastic bags, fluorescent lightbulbs and chemical cleaning supplies. Tours of the Recycling Zone can be scheduled online for groups. For further inquiries, phone the Recycling Zone or check the website.
Having moved from Oakdale somewhat recently, the Washington County Environmental Center allows residents to dispose of hazardous household waste at this facility. Those who wish to drop off items must show identification as the service is only open to county residents. The location also accepts recyclable material and electronics. Note that it's only open Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
