The city of Sauk Rapids is holding its annual Clean Sweep Week April 27–29. It’s simple to be a part of Clean Sweep, and the city is willing to help. To assist with dealing with the accumulated mess the winter months left in your yard, along the fence lines and in the roadways, simply gather it all together and cart it off to the compost site located 1.25 miles north of Golden Spike Road on CR 57. And while you are there, you can purchase a compost sticker and haul your old grass clippings, sawdust, unwanted mulch and tree trimmings there all summer and fall.
What if you don’t have any leaves or twigs or clippings? How about some of the things you’ve been meaning to throw out for the past three years? That old table you were always going to fix? The left-over fencing and that broken window pane? And that humidifier that went on the fritz? No – it’s not completely free. It costs to get rid of some stuff.
Yep! It’s all grist for the mill. A more complete list along with disposal prices can be found on the city website. Just go to http://www.ci.sauk-rapids.mn.us Look on the right side of your screen and locate 2016 Compost site hours to find out when the compost site will be open during the year. Click on “Clean Sweep Week” just below the compost site hours and there you can find out all about how you can dispose of just about any unwanted “stuff” you’ve been accumulating for these past many years.
It could hardly be simpler.
