How to dispose of a refrigerator in Brooklyn Park, MN

Refrigerants (Freon, R-134a) must be recovered by an EPA-certified technician before disposal — Clean Air Act § 608. Best Buy haul-away ($30-50), city bulk pickup, and Xcel Energy's appliance recycling program ($35-50 rebate for working units) all handle this. Never trash.

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.
