Each year, the City of Minnetonka hosts two special Saturday drop-off events where Minnetonka residents can dispose of appliances, tires and other large household items. The next one is Saturday Sept. 10, 2022 from 8 a.m.-3 p.m. at Minnetonka Public Works, 11522 Minnetonka Blvd., east parking lot. Medical equipment dropped off that day will be donated to Mano a Mano, which we distribute to people and organizations in Bolivia as well as in the Twin Cities.
