Spring is here, and it’s time to clean up your yard! Here’s what you need to know about yard waste disposal, curbside pickup, and compost site availability in Moorhead:

Yard Waste Roll-Off Containers Now Available

Yard Waste Roll-Offs are now available for grass clippings and leaves only! You can drop off at these locations, but please remember-no branches or bags:

• The Oakport and Village Green Compost Collection Sites
• Woodlawn Point
• Public Works Facility
• Clay County Resource and Recovery Center

Curbside Yard Waste Collection & Compost Site Opening April 20

Starting April 20, the City will begin curbside yard waste pickup. Residents who do not want to wait for their garbage day can haul wood debris to the City’s Compost Site. Woody debris larger than 8 inches in diameter is subject to a disposal fee.

Important Reminders: Please do not drop off tree branches at the City's recycling drop-off locations—these sites are for grass clippings and leaves only. Grass and leaves need to be in 32-gallon garbage cans, paper bags or biodegradable plastic bags. Yard waste is not to be put in your recycling container.

Curbside Brush & Branch Pickup Begins May 4

The City's curbside brush and branch chipping service will operate every other week on residents' recycling day starting May 4.

Until May 4, brush pickup is available on a call-in basis only. Residents may request service by calling 218.299.5422 or submitting a request online.

Brush Pickup Guidelines:

• Pile Size Limit: 12 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 4 feet high (larger piles will be partially chipped, with the remainder left for the next scheduled pickup).
• Branch Diameter: 8 inches or smaller.
• Placement: Place branches on the boulevard, not in alleys.
• No Bundling: Do not bundle or place branches in bags, garbage cans, or wheelbarrows.
• Prohibited Materials: No root balls, leaves, trash, lumber, or construction materials.

The chipping service is for residents who prune trees on their own property. Any debris generated by contractors will not be collected by the City.

Supporting Pollinators During Spring Cleanup

Residents are encouraged to consider pollinator-friendly practices when cleaning up their yards. Many beneficial insects, such as bees and butterflies, overwinter in dead plant material. To support a healthy pollinator population:

• Delay cleanup until temperatures consistently reach 50°F.
• Leave dead or dying branches in a pile until late spring.
• Consider planting native pollinator-friendly plants.
