In 2021, the City Council approved a new plan for handling bulky waste items in a more sustainable way. Curbside Cleanup is now held every other year, on even years only. The next Curbside Cleanup will be in 2026. Learn more at blm.mn/curbside. Check out the activities listed below that provide opportunities to reuse and recycle more and landfill less.
