The event will be held from 10am-2pm in the parking lot of Empty the Nest’s Retail Showroom at 1121 Cliff Road E, Burnsville, MN 55337. The showroom is open Mon-Wed and Fri-Sat 10am-4pm and Thursdays 10am-6pm. Visit their website for other upcoming events and more information at emptythenest.net.
Empty the Nest’s Retail Showroom offers many one-of-a-kind, unique treasures from home and estate cleanouts throughout the Minneapolis/St. Paul area at thrift prices. Empty the Nest also provides a wall-towall cleanout service to recycle and find new homes for the unwanted furniture and household items.
Empty the Nest strives to leave the smallest footprint possible on the environment by breathing renewed life into as many items as possible and retiring the unusable in the most ecologically-friendly ways. A community event to responsibly dispose of electronics is just one of the many ways they accomplish this mission.
