Mighty Tidy Clean-Up Day
Golden Valley's annual Mighty Tidy Clean-Up Day was established to provide residents a monitored site to dispose of items that they no longer use and that cannot be donated, such as old mattresses and sofas, broken bicycles, ancient appliances, unwanted tires, and outdated electronics (computers and televisions).
