    Eden Prairie residents can haul their no longer usable stuff to the city’s yard waste site and leave without it at a Sept. 11 city-sponsored event. Ninety-eight percent of the junk will be recycled, according to Certified Recycling, the vendor that is partnering with the city.

    When and where?
    The Fall Recycling Drop-Off is Saturday, Sept. 11 from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. The yard waste site is located at 9811 Flying Cloud Drive. Drop-off traffic must enter the site from northbound Flying Cloud Drive. Bring proof of your Eden Prairie residency in the form of a driver’s license, utility bill or passport.

    Plan ahead to pay fees on site
    Certified Recycling will accept a large variety of items most of which have small fees. For example, tire fees range from $5 to $40 depending on size; snow blowers and coffee tables are $20; flat-screen TVs, treadmills, and upholstered chairs are $30 and remote controls are a single buck.

    Check out the full price list to tally the total cost of your junk. All items must be paid on-site with cash or with a check that is made out to Certified Recycling.
