Airbag Recycling in Minnesota
Airbags, especially undeployed ones, contain explosive chemicals such as sodium azide and can’t simply go in the trash. Recycle Technologies provides certified airbag disposal for deployed and undeployed units at its Blaine facility, giving Minnesota auto shops, dealerships, fleets, and individuals a documented way to get airbags recycled safely.
Individuals and businesses can drop off airbags at the Blaine location, schedule commercial pickup, and anyone can use the nationwide Mail-In Program. Because handling rules can vary, we recommend confirming requirements with your local authorities before disposal.

Airbag Recycling for Minnesota Businesses
Auto repair shops, body shops, dealerships, vehicle dismantlers, and fleet operators can schedule a commercial pickup for airbags. This is a business service, not a residential option. Working with a recycler that treats airbags as a specialized service helps protect your shop from liability and keeps hazardous components out of general waste streams. Every completed disposal comes with a certificate of recycling for your records.
Airbag Recycling for Minnesota Residents
Individuals can bring airbags to the Blaine facility. If Blaine isn't convenient, the nationwide Mail-In Program lets you ship airbags from anywhere in the country using an airbag recycling kit. Scheduled pickup is available to commercial customers only. Undeployed airbags are hazardous, so please confirm requirements with your local authorities and contact our team with any questions before transporting or shipping.
