Anoka County Compost Sites Open for the Season April 1 

 

Anoka County’s two compost sites, operated by RRT Processing Solutions, will open for the season April 1, weather permitting. The sites are located in Bunker Hills Regional Park in Coon Rapids, and in Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park in Lino Lakes.

The hours of operation and fee schedule will remain the same as last year. Residents will be charged a $4 per vehicle fee for up to four cubic yards of yard waste (leaves, grass clippings, garden wastes, weeds, pumpkins, pine cones). An additional 50 cents per cubic yard will be charged for yard waste in excess of four yards. (Approximately eight lawn bags equal one yard.) There will continue to be a variable fee for tree waste disposal, depending on the amount and size of material.

Road construction projects near Rice Creek Chain of Lakes site will require use of marked detour routes. For the most current road construction information, visit www.anokacounty.us/yardwaste.

Both sites will remain open through November, weather permitting.
