Recycling & Trash

DRecycling 1akota Valley Recycling

Burnsville’s recycling services are provided through Dakota Valley Recycling (DVR)—a shared department with the Cities of Apple Valley, Eagan and Lakeville. DVR connects residents and businesses to reliable information on recycling, composting and proper waste disposal.

Note: DVR is not a drop-off facility and does not accept materials directly.

In Dakota County, all residents and commercial properties, including multifamily housing, are required to recycle a designated list of items. All licensed haulers must accept these materials.

For full recycling guidelines, visit the Dakota Valley Recycling website.

Setting Up Trash and Recycling Service

The City of Burnsville licenses private companies to collect residential trash and recycling. The City does not handle pickup or negotiate pricing.

You’re free to choose any company from the City’s licensed hauler list. Each hauler sets their own rates, so we encourage you to shop around.

Service Basics

  • Trash and recycling are collected weekly at the curb between 6:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. on your hauler’s scheduled day
  • Weekly curbside pickup is standard for both trash and recycling (unless otherwise noted by your hauler)
  • Yard waste pickup is optional and typically costs extra
  • Haulers may offer different container sizes and pricing
  • Recycling service is always included
