COMING SOON - Put your Food Waste to WORK!!

Beginning in spring 2014, you can bring your food waste and non-recyclable paper to six of the Ramsey County yard waste sites (does not include the site in Arden Hills). We’ll haul it to an organics composting site, where it will become a soil amendment.

Open to: Ramsey County residents only. No organic waste from businesses.

Drop-off Locations: All Ramsey County Yard Waste sites, EXCEPT ARDEN HILLS.

How to Use:

1. Pick up FREE compostable bags at the six yard waste sites that collect organic waste (or coming soon... at the District 1 Council office (2105 1/2 Old Hudson Rd))

2. Fill the bags with food waste and other material listed below.

3. Bring your bagged organics to a Ramsey County yard waste site.

4. Put your bagged organics in the designated container.

5. If you need more compostable bags, ask a yard waste monitor.

  *Keep food waste separate from yard waste

Items Accepted

All food scraps (including meat and dairy), non-recyclable paper, and compostable plastics are accepted. See our website for a detailed list and tips for success.
