Make the most of spring cleaning with area events.
Whether the warmer days have you anticipating spring cleaning or yard sale season, mark your calendar for Trash to Treasure Day on April 26. Each year on the last Saturday of April, residents in White Bear Lake and White Bear Township may put unwanted items on their curb, clearly marked as “free.” Treasure hunters can peruse the curbs and pick up items any time that day. Homeowners are responsible for any leftover items, which can be donated or set aside for spring clean-up days in May.
Connie Taillon, an environmental specialist and water resources engineer with the City of White Bear Lake, shares that this has been a popular community event for decades. The event’s proximity to Earth Day provides an important reminder to reduce waste. “We’re trying to promote the reuse of items. It’s a great event, and I think our residents really enjoy [it],” Taillon says.
The City’s spring clean-up day is scheduled for May 3. Township residents can look ahead to hazardous waste collection on May 10 and a spring clean-up day on May 17.
