Autumn Alley Cleanup

October 8 from 10:00am – 1:00pm

**Dumpster space still available! Sign up here by October 6**

Dumpster location: Washburn High School parking lot at 49th & Pleasant

Has your alley, yard, or garage become a dumping grounds for all of your hard to get rid of stuff? Leftovers from yard and home improvement projects, scraps of lumber, concrete, and so much more can quickly become an eyesore. Register below to ditch your debris* in our dumpster.

Please sign up for dumpster space here by October 6 to help us plan for volunteers and space. Since we are limited to 20-yards in dumpster space, the event will be first come, first served. If you are a senior or person with a disability who needs help picking up debris/items, please register and we will try to secure a volunteer and vehicle to assist you.

To help cover the costs of securing the dumpster, we are asking for a suggested donation of $10-20 per vehicle load based on the amount of debris/items being dumped. You can make your donation here or we can accept donations via cash, check, PayPal, and Venmo when you bring your debris/items to our dumpster on Oct. 8.

This is also a great weekend to clean up your overgrowth in the alley to ensure proper access and clear sight lines before snow plowing season. Bag plants and leaves, bundle sticks and branches, and set your yard waste out near your City of Minneapolis solid waste & recycling carts.

Want to encourage your neighbors to clean up their alley too? Contact us at info@tangletown.org and we’ll get you a set of fliers to drop at your neighbors’ homes!
