Yard Waste

Yard Waste Disposal

Yard waste includes grass clippings, leaves, weeds, garden wastes, pine cones, acorns, twigs, and prunings less than four inches in diameter. Yard waste does NOT include trees, brush, or branches having a diameter of more than four inches, rocks, concrete, or other similar materials, fruit, ashes, dead animals, sod, lumber, or pond weed. Brush and branch trimmings less than four inches in diameter should be bundled (no more than 4 feet long and 20 inches in overall diameter).

Yard waste can be disposed of in the following ways:

It can be picked up by Walter's Refuse and Recycling on the regular garbage day if properly bagged or bundled. Yard waste pick up begins in April and ends in November, weather permitting.

Larger yard waste can be brought to the Maple Grove Yard Waste Drop Off Site located on 101st Avenue North, just west of Fernbrook Lane in Maple Grove. Please note: there will be a charge for Osseo residents.

Trees and large brush can be disposed of by calling Elk River landfill at 763.441.2464.
