Maple Grove is one of the Hennepin cities that organize collection at the city level rather than letting residents shop. That means a uniform rate, predictable pickup days, and lower truck traffic on residential streets. Your hauler depends on your address zone; find your assignment at maplegrovemn.gov.
Single-stream recycling: paper, cardboard, metal cans, glass bottles, and rigid plastics #1, #2, #5 in one blue cart. Plastic bags are NOT accepted curbside — drop at a grocery-store bin. Pickup is on your regular collection day every other week.
Maple Grove offers opt-in curbside organics through the city-contracted hauler. Weekly pickup. Accepts food scraps (including meat and dairy), paper food packaging, BPI-certified compostables, and yard waste. Sign up at maplegrovemn.gov.
The Maple Grove Public Works yard at 9000 N Hemlock Ln operates a residential drop-off site for items that don't fit the curbside cart or the curbside program: rigid plastics, cardboard overflow, scrap metal, and yard waste. Free for Maple Grove residents on most items; some fees for appliances and mattresses.
Maple Grove residents take HHW (paint, motor oil, antifreeze, pesticides, fluorescent bulbs, lithium-ion batteries, propane tanks) to one of the two Hennepin County HHW facilities. Brooklyn Park (8100 Jefferson Hwy) is the closest to Maple Grove — about 15 minutes south on Hwy 169. Bring photo ID.
