Managing Yard Waste
When the snow melts, runoff on your street washes through storm sewers and into local lakes, ponds and rivers, carrying yard waste and other pollutants. Proper disposal of yard waste helps protect the health of local waterways.
Options for managing yard waste include curbside pickup available through most trash haulers, using a local drop-off site or composting in your backyard. The Eden Prairie Yard Waste Site – which now accepts grass clippings – is open April 29–Nov. 20.
