Farmer's Market: Compost Info & Bling from Solid Waste and Recycling

Sunday, October 22nd, 8:30 AM – 1:00 PM

Kingfield Farmers Market (at the KFNA Table), 4310 Nicollet Avenue South, Minneapolis

Stop by the KFNA Table to chat with the City of Minneapolis about solid waste & recycling, and compost table on October 22nd. Get your recycling questions answered and test how wise you are about waste by seeing if you can correctly sort items into trash, recycling and organics recycling containers! Solid Waste & Recycling customers can sign up for an organics recycling cart directly at the table, and can also pick up an organics recycling kitchen collection pail and packets of compostable plastic bags to make it as easy to recycle your food scraps, paper towels and other organics at home. If you don’t have City Solid Waste & Recycling service, stop by the table and learn how you can compost your organics with your current hauler or by using a City organics recycling drop off site.

Kingfield Composting Survey

Please take the following brief survey whether you currently participate in the program or not: take online survey here

KFNA will be working in the coming year to increase participation in this program. If you are interested in being a member of this Rocking Organic Team (ROT!) just send an email to Sarah@kingfield.org.

Kingfield Votes and You Can Help!

Kingfield is a neighborhood of Voters! Yet, even so, in municipal election years (like 2017) our voting population drops to half. Convinced we can do better, KFNA is working on a number of strategies to increase voter turnout in our neighborhood, and our broader community. Sign up to help on any of the following efforts or contact KFNA at info@kingfield.org and let us know your availability and interests!

Quarterly Publications Share Events on Facebook
Fall | Winter | Spring | Summer October 2017

The Kingfield Neighborhood Association (KFNA) manages this List for the purpose of informing neighbors of events and issues that directly affect Kingfield neighborhood. This list is never shared nor sold to any other organizations. Kingfield is defined as 35W to Lyndale Avenue South and from 36th Street through 46th Street. All List recipients are invited to share neighborhood news with other members by sending messages to sarah@kingfield.org ; please indicate in the subject line that it is a message for the Kingfield E-mail List. All messages submitted by members for consideration of inclusion on the List must include complete contact information including name, phone, and email address. All messages will be screened and no partisan political messages will be posted. Ballot initiatives are not considered partisan political activity, and are permitted activities under KFNA's 501(c)(3) tax status.

The List Administrator will make the final decision as what information is posted to the Kingfield E-mail List and maintains the right to edit all messages. Many messages concerning neighborhood issues or questions we will simply answer directly, rather than posting to the entire list. Notices may also, or instead, at List Administrator's discretion be posted on the KFNA website
