Twin Cities Spring Cleaning Guide 2020

Spring is here (finally!), which means it’s time for spring cleaning and for my annual Twin Cities Spring Cleaning Guide! With COVID-19, it’s a very different spring this year, but with us all urged to stay home, it can mean the most productive spring cleaning year for us all yet! Unfortunately, you can’t donate or drop off items as much as usual, but there are some resources still available.

To help you, this is a list of Twin Cities area resources to help you get rid of yard waste, papers, clothing and any other type of household items you no longer need.

COVID-19 UPDATE: I noted places that are closed in red, though the information can change at any time. Please check before going! In short, Nextdoor.com, Craigslist and select stores that are open right now are your best bets for selling, donating or buying used items.

Also, check out Mike Marcotte’s guide to where Minnesotans can donate items during COVID-19!

Spring is almost here (finally!), which means it’s time for spring cleaning and for my annual Twin Cities Spring Cleaning Guide!

This is a list of Twin Cities area resources to help you get rid of yard waste, papers, clothing and any other type of household items you no longer need.

It’s been a crazy winter – I don’t think I’ve seen so much snow in my yard! But even if we have a little bit more winter-y weather, now is a great time to start going through your home and organizing little by little so that it’s all done (at least on the inside) by the time the warmer weather actually begins!
