🎃 Stay safe and have a happy Halloween!

Heading out for trick-or-treating? Keep these safety tips in mind for a fun and safe night!

🔦 Be seen: Carry a flashlight or glow stick and add reflective tape to costumes or treat bags.

🚶 Stay on sidewalks: Use crosswalks, look both ways before crossing, and avoid darting between parked cars.

🏠 Stick together: Young children should always trick-or-treat with a responsible adult. Older kids should travel in groups and stick to familiar neighborhoods.

📱 Stay alert: Keep your eyes up and avoid distractions like phones while walking or crossing streets.

🚗 Drivers, slow down! Watch for children crossing streets, especially in residential neighborhoods.

🍬 Looking for more Halloween fun? Join us for our FREE Trunk or Treat event on Saturday, Oct. 31, from 11 a.m.–1 p.m. at the Splash Valley parking lot (14421 Johnny Cake Ridge Rd.)! Come in costume, collect candy from decorated City vehicles, and meet staff from departments across the City.

Have a safe, fun, and spooktacular Halloween, Apple Valley! 👻

🎃 Don't trash your pumpkins, compost them!

Once Halloween is over, give your pumpkins a second life by composting them instead of tossing them in the trash!

From November 1–8, drop off your pumpkins for FREE at the Apple Valley Maintenance Facility (6442 140th St. W.). Composting pumpkins helps reduce waste and turns them into nutrient-rich compost! 🌱

Before dropping off your pumpkins, be sure to remove any candles, decorations, paint, or other non-compostable materials.

♻️ Last year, Dakota Valley Recycling collected more than 90,000 pounds of pumpkins! Help us keep even more out of landfills this year.

💧 Cleaner water is on the way for Alimagnet Lake!

This fall, Alimagnet Lake received its second alum treatment to help improve water quality by reducing phosphorus, a nutrient that contributes to algae growth.

The treatment works by binding phosphorus and trapping it in lake sediments, helping keep the water cleaner and healthier for aquatic life.

The first treatment in 2024 showed promising results, and the benefits of the completed treatment are expected to last 10 to 14 years!

This project was made possible through Clean Water Fund grants and partnerships between the cities of Apple Valley and Burnsville and the Vermillion River Watershed Joint Powers Organization.
