City of Minneapolis issued the following announcement on April 2
The 2020 season for Minneapolis Solid Waste & Recycling collection of leaves, brush and other yard trimmings starts the week of April 6. Minneapolis Solid Waste & Recycling customers can set properly prepared yard waste at their alleys or curbs next to their garbage carts by 6 a.m. on garbage day.
Solid Waste & Recycling customers can set yard waste out in a reusable container, compostable bags (paper or certified compostable plastic) or bundled with string or twine.
- Reusable containers must be 32-38 gallons in size and 26-32 inches high with sturdy handles.
- Each container, bag or bundle must weigh less than 40 pounds.
- Branches must be less than 3 inches in diameter and cut to less than 3 feet or shorter.
Solid Waste & Recycling crews can’t pick up dirt, soil, sod, branches wider than 3 inches in diameter or longer than 3 feet, stumps or trees.
Nobody should rake leaves into the street. It’s against the law and bad for our lakes, creeks and river.
For questions about leaf and brush pickup, customers can check the website or call Solid Waste & Recycling at 612-673-2917 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
