Pat,
I want to congratulate the City of Elk River on another excelleht Clean Up Day. On April 30th, my husband and I
loaded our old appliances in the truck, drove to the public works facility, dropped the material off and were back
home in less than 15 minutes!
The staff was extremely organized and ran a very efficient event. Even more importantly, despite the gray skies,
everyone was very positive and helpful.
Thank you to Joan, Debbie and all of the other employees who came in on a Saturday to make
this a terrific event!
Sincerely,
Kendra and Ted Lindahl
