Putting yard or tree waste in the garbage is illegal in Minnesota, but caring for your lawn and garden doesn't have to produce expensive waste.

Turn clippings and leaves into a free material to improve soil through composting.
Fertilizers with pesticides are a less safe, more expensive approach. But if you use these products, see our use and disposal tips.

Leftover pesticides? Not garbage-friendly! Find out where your county accepts them.
