Edina uses organized collection — one city-contracted hauler (Republic Services) serves all residences. No choosing your own hauler. This keeps pricing consistent + cuts truck traffic on residential streets. Service includes weekly garbage, every-other-week recycling, weekly organics, and seasonal yard waste.
Edina launched citywide curbside organics in 2020. Free for all Edina households. Sign up at edinamn.gov; Republic delivers a green cart that gets collected weekly. Accepts food scraps (meat, dairy, bones), paper food packaging, BPI-certified compostables. About 45% of Edina households now participate.
Edina's recycling program accepts single-stream: paper, cardboard, metal cans, glass bottles, and rigid plastics #1, #2, #5 in one cart. Plastic bags do NOT go in the cart — return to grocery-store drop bins. Sort guide at edinamn.gov. Cart collected every other week alongside garbage.
Edina is in Hennepin County, so HHW goes to either Bloomington (1400 W 96th St — closest to Edina) or Brooklyn Park Transfer Station (8100 Jefferson Hwy). Free for Hennepin County residents — bring photo ID. Both accept paint, oil, antifreeze, pesticides, batteries, bulbs, propane tanks, and almost any household chemical.
Edina households get two free bulk-pickup items per year (mattresses, furniture, appliances). Schedule online at edinamn.gov. Yard waste runs weekly April through November via Republic Services. Use labeled yard-waste carts or compostable paper bags — plastic bags NOT accepted.

Easiest: schedule bulk pickup via edinamn.gov — your two annual free pickups cover a mattress. The mattress must be in a plastic mattress bag. Otherwise: Goodwill or Salvation Army (only if stain-free and usable), or take to Hennepin County HHW in Bloomington (1400 W 96th St) for a small fee.

Yes — free curbside Christmas tree pickup runs the first two weeks of January via Republic Services. Remove all decorations, lights, stand, and tree skirt. Flocked trees (sprayed snow) cannot be composted — they go in trash. Off-window, drop trees free at Hennepin County compost sites year-round.
