NAPO Minnesota Celebrates Earth Month!
The morning begins with a behind the scenes tour of Dakota County’s Recycling Zone. Learn what happens from start to finish to those client/individual items you drop off for county recycling and hazardous waste disposal.
Then travel to the Dakota County Library – Wescott location, for networking and the presentation, Maximizing Reuse in Professional Organizing given by Emily Barker of Reuse Minnesota. Emily knows professional organizers are familiar with places to donate items during organizing and cleanout projects, but you may not know many new and exciting opportunities for reuse of decluttered possessions! She will also share local resources for supporting clients in maintaining their long-term decluttering/organizing goals.
