Yard Waste

Minnesota state law prohibits mixing tree, brush and yard waste in with your household garbage.

DO include these items in your Yard Waste ...

• Small brush, branches and garden waste

• Grass clippings

• Bundled branches - should be cut in lengths of no more than 4 feet long and bundled no more than 18 inches in diameter

Yard waste must be placed in a Yard Waste cart provided by SWS or in bio-degradable bags, kraft paper yard waste bags or plastic bags.

Yard waste service is available as scheduled weekly service or as on call pickup service.

Scheduled Weekly Service:

Yard waste season begins the second full week of April and ends the week of Thanksgiving.

 

Suburban Waste provides the option of a wheeled yard waste cart for customers enrolled in our seasonal yard waste program.

 

Yard Waste carts are similar to regular garbage carts and recycling carts except they are clearly marked for Yard Waste only.

 

Seasonal service is an optional additional service that is billed one time yearly.  Service is automatically scheduled for weekly collection. 

 

To ensure prompt service, please have your Yard Waste cart at curbside by 6:30 a.m. on collection day.

On Call Pickup Service:

Another option for yard waste removal is our On Call Pickup service with per bag or per bundle charges.

 

This service is provided on the same day as your regular trash removal. 

 

Since we must schedule a yard waste truck to come to your address, 24-hour advance notice is required.

• Yard waste must be placed in bio-degradable bags, kraft paper yard waste bags or plastic bags.

• The bags should be less than 30 lbs each.

• Bundled branches should be cut in lengths of no more than 4 feet long and bundled no more than 18 inches in diameter.
