Rosemount Sets Cleanup Day Criteria
The annual "dump day" for the community is set for Oct. 5. Here's what you can bring to drop off.
A citywide clean-up day will be held from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday, October 5, at the Rosemount Public Works Facility at 14455 Brazil Avenue, just north of Rosemount City Hall. Residents are welcome to participate in the event by dropping off unwanted items that are not normally collected by their residential solid waste haulers.
Rosemount will be working with Certified Recycling L.L.C. for collection and disposal of electronic equipment and appliances. Anyone dropping off these items will pay Certified directly. Therefore, participants who wish to dispose of electronics and/or appliances along with other items for which we charge should be prepared to pay Certified Recycling L.L.C. and the City of Rosemount separately.
