Mighty Tidy Clean-Up Day

Golden Valley's annual Mighty Tidy Clean-Up Day was established to provide residents a monitored site to dispose of items that they no longer use and that cannot be donated, such as old mattresses and sofas, broken bicycles, ancient appliances, unwanted tires, and outdated electronics (computers and televisions).

Rules

Enter Brookview Parkway from the north along Winnetka Ave (it is a one-way for the event). Workers collect the appropriate fee and direct residents to one of three lots: Lot 1—electronics, tires, batteries, and fluorescent light bulbs; Lot 2—scrap metal and appliances; Lot 3—sofas, chairs, mattresses, and miscellaneous items (construction debris, lumber, swing sets, bricks, etc).

No hazardous waste (used motor oil, asbestos, cleaning solvents, pool chemicals, etc) are accepted.

The Golden Valley Mighty Tidy Clean-Up Day is open only to Golden Valley residents, and proof of residency will be required at the entrance.

For more information on Mighty Tidy Day, call Golden Valley’s Environmental Coordinator at 763-593-8046.
