Disposing of Junk The One-Stop Way

From the city of Roseville:

The city of Roseville will hold its annual Clean Up Day  from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.  at the Dale Street Soccer Field parking lot, 2555 N. Dale Street.

There will be a slight fee for disposing of unusable items based on either vehicle garbage load or individual items such as appliances, consumer electronics or furniture.

Pay at the gate with cash or check. Money to pay for the Clean Up Day comes from the sale of residents' curbside recyclable material, as well as from funds received from the State of Minnesota and Ramsey County.

But before you junk your junk, first figure out if your stuff could be used by someone else. If you have reusable clothes, books, sporting goods or housewares take them to Goodwill, 1627 W. County Road B.

Take reusable mattresses, box springs, furniture and other household items to Bridging, 1633 Terrace Drive. These charities will NOT accept large appliances or electronics. Or list items on the Twin Cities Free Market website. These options are free and charitable donations are tax deductible.
