To help divert waste from landfills, Hennepin County has grants available for homeowners and developers to deconstruct buildings to salvage building materials rather than demolish them
Many building materials have the potential to be salvaged and reused or recycled. In fact, about 85 percent of the materials in a typical demolition or remodeling project could be salvaged and kept out of landfills. But currently, only about 30 percent of building materials are reused or recycled.
Deconstruction involves carefully dismantling buildings to salvage materials for reuse. Commonly salvaged building materials include old growth lumber, doors, flooring, cabinets and fixtures.
Deconstruction provides numerous environmental and social benefits compared to standard demolition. Deconstruction prevents usable materials from going to the landfill, makes building materials available to the community, provides jobs, and supports local reuse retailers.
In a deconstruction project, a building is taken apart, mostly by hand, and materials are sorted into categories for efficient recycling and reuse.
Compared to standard demolition techniques that use mechanical equipment to knock down structures, the additional labor costs and time with deconstruction can be a deterrent.
Homeowners and developers of residential properties can receive up to $5,000 to help offset the additional costs associated with deconstruction.
Grants are available for demolition or renovation projects that are 250 square feet or larger on structures built prior to 1950. Currently, properties must be in Brooklyn Center, Edina, Hopkins, Minneapolis, or St. Louis Park. Additional cities will be recruited for participation as the program expands.
Learn more about the grants including eligibility and requirements at hennepin.us/deconstruction.

Census workers have begun canvassing neighborhoods to count the number of dwellings before census questionnaires are mailed out.
In 2020, the US census will determine how many congressional representatives Minnesota will have for the next decade, and will impact funding for schools and local communities. Getting an accurate and complete count of all residents is vital.

Did you know? It’s illegal to leave your vehicle unattended with the keys in the ignition while on a public street/alley. You could be ticketed under City Ordinance 478.160, even if your vehicle is stolen in these circumstances. (Note: remote starters do not violate the ordinance.) If your stolen vehicle is recovered, it is sent to the impound lot and if it is not retrieved in 15 days, it can be sold at police auction. In order to get the vehicle, you have to pay the fees.
Fall is officially here! Now is a great time to prepare for a healthy spring yard. Cooling temperatures make fall the perfect season for planting new grass, pulling weeds and aerating the soil. Explore these resources to ensure a healthy comeback for your lawn next spring.
The dead leaves that blanket your yard are full of nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen. Consider these three methods for maintaining your fall yard and keeping these excess nutrients away from stormdrains:
