Bloomington organics drop-off site grand opening

Bloomington has a new organics drop-off site, and will host a grand opening this weekend.

The grand opening is 9-11 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 14, at Wright’s Lake Park, 8501 17th Ave.

The new organics collection enclosure, funded in part through a Hennepin County grant, has improved design features such as an angled roof to keep out rain and snow, solar lighting and a user door for easy access to the collection containers.

The grand opening will feature seasonal treats, kitchen pail distribution, compost-themed activities and a ribbon cutting ceremony.
