Single Family Residential Yard Waste Program

The new Minnesota State law (State Statute 115A.931-YARD WASTE PROHIBITION) requires that you now use compostable bags for your yard waste. The law was written to keep black plastic out of composting facilities, which creates an organic waste stream free of plastic. Compostable bags include; Kraft paper bags or compostable plastic bags that are usually clear or a tinted shade of green, white, or pink. However, the color is not a sure way of determining the compostability of a plastic bag. Compostable plastic bags must state that they meet ASTM D6400 standards for composting and that they are “compostable”. Not all bags marked “biodegradable” or “degradable” meet the state law. Most home improvement, grocery and hardware stores carry compostable bags. If you don’t see them at your local store, ask an employee.

Our Extended Yard Waste Program allows you to have all of your bagged grass clippings or leaves and 2 bundles of brush taken each week. Brush needs to be tied in bundles you can fit your arms around.  The brush can be no longer than 4’ and no larger than 2” in branch diameter. Extra bundles of brush will be taken and billed at $2.50 each.

Collection day is Thursday. Simply give us a call by Wednesday noon to be put on the route for that Thursday.
