Cleaning up yards after the storm?

Ramsey County residents cleaning up after recent storms have expanded options for disposing of yard debris. The County will open its four yard waste collection sites that accept tree and shrub waste two extra days this week.

The County’s yard waste collection sites are normally closed on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but will be open on Tuesday, June 25, and Thursday, June 27, to give residents extra days to dispose of yard waste, including tree and shrub waste. The Arden Hills, Frank and Sims, Midway and White Bear Township yard waste sites will be open the following days and times:

            Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

            Tuesday, and Thursday, 12 noon to 7 p.m.

            Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

            Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Drop-off  at County yard waste collection sites is free and open to residents of Ramsey County only. Waste is not accepted from businesses. Please bring an  I.D. 

If you have questions, need a map to the yard waste sites, or need to know where to dispose of items not accepted, call the Ramsey County Recycling & Disposal Hotline at 651-633-EASY (3279).  This hotline is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  Or you can visit the online A-to-Z Disposal Guide at RamseyAtoZ.com.  For questions about business waste, call 651-266-1199.

Also, the City of St. Paul is allowing residents to get their help with curbside hauling of debris IF THE DEBRIS IS AT THE CURB BY FRIDAY JUNE 29 AND you call 651.632.5129 and notify the forestry hotline.
