Northern Yard Waste Site is free and open to Washington county residents. Accepted items include leaves, grass clippings, brush, tree waste, and other plant materials. Located at 5527 170th St. N., Hugo, MN 55038.
Residents who do not have space on their own property for this type of composting yard waste, may sign up for the Scandia Composter's Registry. The Registry is a list maintained by city staff to match Scandia residents with others who want these materials for their gardens or farms. Call city staff at 651 433-2274 to sign up for the Registry. We will ask what materials you have to give, and put you in contact with any other resident who may be willing to accept them. Names will not be posted publicly; this is simply a match-making service. All arrangements must be made between the private parties.
