The city's annual Spring Clean Up Day event is scheduled for 7:30 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, April 24 at Public Works.

The drop-off recycling event allows residents to recycle old appliances, electronics, yard waste, tires, car batteries, scrap metal and more.

Residents will be charged a flat fee based on the type of vehicle hauling. Additional fees apply as noted on city website.

This is a first-come, first-served event. The line to enter may be cut off prior to 11:30 to ensure vehicles already in line are processed.

Clean Up Day is for residents of Shakopee, Jackson Township, and Louisville Township (IDs required) and is funded in part through grants received from Scott County and Shakopee's Recycling Rebate Program.

Shakopee Rotary collects mattresses and box springs

During the Clean Up Day event, Shakopee Rotary will be collecting donations of mattresses and box springs of any size for Bridging, Inc., a local nonprofit that serves people in need throughout the metropolitan area. 

Donations must be in good condition, with no rips, stains or odor. Due to the current oversupply, no other furnishings or housewares will be accepted. Contact Rotarian Tim Whitcomb at 952-445-6170 if you need assistance with pickup.
