Missed Collection

City offices will be closed Monday, February 16 in observance of Presidents' Day. There will be NO DELAY in garbage or recycling collection next week. Please set your carts out on your usual pickup day by 6 a.m. for collection. 

The live holiday tree collection period has now concluded for 2026. 

If you set out your live tree for collection during January 2-15 and it was not collected by 6 p.m. the next business day, please report the missed collection using the form below. No additional trees can be scheduled for collection this season.

If you have an artificial tree, please schedule a bulky item collection. Live trees can no longer be scheduled as bulky items this year. 

All live trees are taken to yard waste sites for composting. Yard waste trucks are no longer in operation for tree collection after the holiday service period.

Live tree disposal:

If you have a live tree that needs to be disposed of, you can take it (for free) to a Ramsey County yard waste site that accepts trees.

Yard waste sites and their hours are listed here: Yard Waste | Ramsey County, Minnesota. Sites that accept trees include Arden Hills, Frank and Sims, Midway, and White Bear Township.

We collect garbage and recycling between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. Please contact us after 6 p.m. or the next day if your garbage and recycling hasn't been collected.
