How to dispose of batteries in Brooklyn Park, MN

The right path depends on chemistry. Single-use alkaline (AA, AAA, C, D, 9V) is trash-safe in 49 states. Lithium-ion (phones, laptops, e-bikes), button-cell, and lead-acid (car) batteries are NOT trash-safe — they need HHW drop-off or retailer take-back.

Curbside schedule
Brooklyn Park does NOT operate its own curbside collection — residents contract directly with a licensed Hennepin County hauler. Pickup day varies by hauler and address. Most provide weekly garbage, every-other-week recycling, and seasonal yard-waste pickup April-November.
Bulk pickup
Bulk pickup is arranged through your individual hauler, not the city. Most Brooklyn Park haulers include 1-2 bulk items per year free; additional items $15-40 each. Call your hauler directly or use ClearPath's pickup booking flow.
