You need more space. Whether it is in the garage, the porch, or basement.
Space is good, space is, well…spacious.
And you don’t need that tired chair, wobbly table, dead lawn mower or the old, rolled-up rug in the basement. They’re not exactly heirlooms. They are clutter.
Help arrives on Saturday, June 19 – EP’s Community Drop Off Day. It’s only for Eden Prairie residents and it is our town’s biggest annual recycling event.
Drive your stuff to Hennepin Technical College on June 19 from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and bid your load “goodbye.” Hennepin Tech’s campus is approached via Flying Cloud Drive (south of Anderson Lakes Parkway) at 13100 College View Drive.
You’ll need to show a driver’s license, proof of residency or utility bill to confirm your Eden Prairie residency. For more information, visit the Drop-Off Day website or call 952-949-8330. Here’s what you can and cannot drop-off:
