Private Yard Waste Site Closes In Woodbury

Press release from the City of Woodbury:

June 19, 2020

The city is aware that the owner of the privately-operated compost site in Woodbury has decided to close their business.

While the city would like to see convenient access to yard waste services continue for its residents, it is not in a position purchase or lease the property to operate a yard waste facility.

City staff has had conversations with Washington County and has identified that Washington County is best suited to take the lead on evaluating the yard waste needs of county and city residents. Washington County is considering options for the on-going operation of the facility.

Meantime, residents may choose to dispose of yard waste at one of the other private or public facilities in Washington County. Learn more on the county’s website. Washington County residents can also drop off yard waste at Ramsey County’s Arden Hills, Battle Creek, Frank & Sims and White Bear Township collection sites. Photo ID is required.

In addition, some trash haulers offer curbside pickup of yard waste for a fee. Residents should contact their trash hauler to learn more.
