During Spring Clean-up Mankato residents can dispose of unwanted items from 7 a.m. to noon, Saturdays in May (4, 11, 18 and 25) at 221 Lamm Street. Televisions, computers and other electronics will also be accepted. Items not accepted include concrete, asphalt, tires, appliances, recyclable material and hazardous waste.

Spring Clean-up is a value-added benefit of Mankato's garbage and recycling service. New this year, Mankato residents can also drop off unwanted prescription and non-prescription medications at Spring Clean-up.

During Spring Clean-up, there are two options to dispose of appliances:

• to schedule a curbside appliance pick up, contact Green Tech at 507-344-1315. The cost is $15 per appliance; or,
• drop off up to five household appliances at Green Tech, 205 West Spring Street, at a special rate of $7 per appliance for Mankato residents (paid at drop off; a driver’s license, identification card or utility bill with a Mankato address is required). 

Appliance recycling extends beyond Spring Clean-up and is available year round for Mankato residents. Green Tech will also accept up to 300 pounds of household electronics per Mankato household at no additional cost.

Although compost is not accepted at Spring Clean-up, compost may be brought to the Southern Minnesota Construction compost site, 3600 Third Avenue, at no cost for Mankato residents (a driver’s license, identification card or utility bill with a Mankato address is required).

For more information contact staff at 311 or 507-387-8600.
