Compost In 1992 the State of Minnesota banned disposal of lawn clippings and leaves in landfills. This means that yard waste must be collected by a designated truck, which is routed seperately and disposes the waste at a composting facility. You are not allowed to put grass or leaves in with your household trash.

Compost pickup for the 2009 season will begin the week of April 20th and ends the week of November 16th  COMPOST PICKUP REQUIREMENTS  Tennis Sanitation offers curbside compost collection. Approved yard waste for curbside pickup includes: leaves, grass clippings, dead flowers or plants. There is a per-bag fee for compost pickup at the curb. Your compost must be placed in purchased paper bio-degradable bags that you can get at your local Target, Home Depot, Menards, Fleet Farm, Sams Club and some grocery stores. We require that you call our office at least 1 day before your normal trash pick-up day so the compost truck can be scheduled to stop by your house.   SEASONAL WEEKLY COMPOST PROGRAM If you are interested in our seasonal Compost Program, please call our office for pricing and information.
