City of Rosemount Spring Clean-Up Day

A citywide clean-up day will be held on Saturday, May 19, 2012 from 8 a.m. until 12 noon at the Dakota County Technical College at 1300 145th Street East (Co. Road 42) in the west parking lot. The lineup will begin at the University of Minnesota research facility and extend north along Akron Avenue. Enter off of Highway 3 or Blaine Avenue onto 160th Avenue for easier lineup.

Rosemount will be working with Certified Recycling, L.L.C. for collection and disposal of electronic equipment and appliances.
