CHASKA, MINN. — The Carver County Environmental Center hours will be changing to better serve the community starting June 4. Since opening in 2002, the Carver County Environmental Center has provided residents and small businesses with a convenient location to safely dispose of household hazardous waste, electronics, appliances and more.
Serving more than 600,000 visitors so far, the Environmental Center has been instrumental in recycling and responsibly managing millions of pounds of materials, playing a vital role in protecting both Carver County residents and the environment.
Participation at the Environmental Center and the volume of materials managed have continued to increase each year—a trend driven by the County’s rapid growth and shifts in the types of materials being disposed of. As this trend is expected to continue, the County has recognized the need to explore future operational strategies to ensure the safe, efficient flow of both people and materials at the facility.
To address growing demand while maintaining high-quality service, the Environmental Center will implement new operating hours starting June 4. These changes are designed to reduce wait times, improve traffic flow, minimize staff downtime and provide consistent weekday opening hours, while also adding two extra hours of service each week.
New Operating Hours:
- Wednesday: 10 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
- Thursday: 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
- Friday: 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
- Saturday: 8 a.m. – 12 p.m.
