Apple Valley residents looking to declutter their homes and yards have a golden opportunity this upcoming weekend. On Saturday, September 20th, the City of Apple Valley, in conjunction with Dakota Valley Recycling, is hosting a clean-up event from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm at the Apple Valley Family Aquatic Center, located at 14421 Johnny Cake Ridge Road. The event provides a convenient alternative for disposing of items that a regular trash service may not pick up or those that may incur extra fees.
According to the announcement posted by the city, the clean-up day is set to accept a variety of items, including but not limited to appliances, tires, scrap metal, mattresses and box springs, as well as furniture. Homeowners engaging in remodeling can also bring in their carpet and padding, and other related debris. The event aims to streamline the process of maintaining clean homes and neighborhoods, while ensuring that waste is disposed of properly and efficiently.
Residents interested in participating should be aware that proof of residency is required for disposal. The City’s website offers comprehensive details on what items will be accepted, those that are prohibited, and information on potential disposal fees. The city clearly aims to assist residents in responsibly managing waste while reducing the environmental impacts associated with improper disposal.

This annual event has become a staple in community efforts to promote sustainability and responsible waste management, offering a service that extends beyond the typical curb-side pick up.
