Citywide clean-up day is May 22

Talk about it

The city of Rosemount will hold a clean-up day for all Rosemount residents from 8 a.m. to noon May 22 in the west parking lot of Dakota County Technical College, 1300 145th Street East.

The lineup will begin at the University of Minnesota research facility and extend north along Akron Avenue. Participants should enter off of Highway 3 or Blaine Avenue onto 160th Street for easier line up.

Rosemount will work with Certified Recycling, L.L.C. for collection and disposal of electronic equipment and appliances. Anyone dropping off these items at the spring clean-up day will pay Certified Recycling directly. Participants at the event who wish to dispose of electronics and/or appliances along with other items for which there is a charge should be prepared to pay Certified and the city of Rosemount separately.

For a more complete list of electronic equipment and the disposal fee for each item see the city’s web site at www.ci.rosemount.mn.us. Anyone with questions should call the city’s solid waste coordinator at 651-322-6005

Loose items should be boxed or bagged to make unloading easier and quicker. Not all material can be collected. The city reserves the right to refuse any unacceptable material such as compost and yard waste, motor oil or household hazardous waste like paints, solvents and fluorescent light bulbs. There are other sites within Dakota County that will accept such items.

The clean-up event is for Rosemount residents only. A driver’s license or other proof of residency will be required. The event is for household quantities of materials only. Staff will be on hand to assist residents.

SKB Environmental, Certified Recycling, L.L.C., Gopher Resource Corporation, Dick’s Sanitation, and Dakota County Technical College sponsor this event.
