Kingfield Residential Organics Collection Workshop & Drop-off!
Tuesday, May 12th, 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM
MLK Park Multipurpose room, 4055 Nicollet Avenue South, Minneapolis
Start saving your Organic Waste Now…Residential Organics Drop-Off is Coming to MLK Park on May 12th!
Bring your organic waste with you and leave it on site!
RSVP your intent to attend to sarah@kingfield.org!
The Kingfield Neighborhood Association, in partnership with the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board and Minneapolis Solid Waste & Recycling, is proud to announce the opening of a residential organics drop-off at Martin Luther King, Jr. Park. On May 12th, from 6 - 7:30 PM, an educational meeting/workshop will be held at the park for residents to learn more about the drop-off and the citywide organics recycling program. Bring your questions for the city’s recycling coordinator who will be present, and bring your organics, as the new drop-off carts will be on site for the meeting!
Residential organics include all food waste (including food you shouldn’t compost in a backyard bin), food-soiled and non-recyclable paper, and other compostable materials such as coffee grounds and filters, cotton swabs, dryer lint, and popsicle sticks. Yard waste and pet waste are not accepted. Residents must drop off their organic materials in a compostable bag (made of paper or certified compostable plastic). Larger items such as pizza boxes and wax-coated boxes do not need to be bagged.
The drop-off will be open to all Minneapolis residents at no cost. For the first several weeks, the drop-off will have designated hours (Tuesdays evenings and Saturday mornings) when volunteers will be on site to answer questions, train new participants, and gather some information from residents using the drop-off.
For more information on the MLK Park drop-off or other residential organics drop-offs and the citywide organics recycling program roll-out, visit minneapolismn.gov/organics or contact KFNA’s director at sarah@kingfield.org

Raise Some Dough for the Kingfield Community Bread Oven!
Friday, May 15th, 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM
Kingfield’s Pleasant Community Garden, 3754 Pleasant Avenue South, Minneapolis
What is this? A stone-soup-style community dinner and fundraiser (get it, DOUGH raiser?!) for this new neighborhood gathering spot, a community-owned bread oven!
KFNA will bring the dough for this event (along with a few sketchily constructed grill-based ovens to cook pizza for the evening!)
YOU provide the pizza toppings, along with a DOUGH-nation of cold, hard cash, suggested at $10-25 per person or $30-50 per family. (You can donate whatever you want—that’s why it’s called a donation—so if the price is too steep, give less, and if you really want to see this oven happen, give more.) It’s all tax-deductible when you give to KFNA!
Event Supporters:
- Pizza dough provided by TRU Pizza, Kingfield’s mobile pizza truck!
- Actual dough provided by all of you great neighbors!
Questions? Contact Sarah, Executive Director of Kingfield Neighborhood Association at 612.823.5980, or sarah@kingfield.org.
