FREE Yard Waste Drop-Off Program Returns to the SMSC Organics Recycling Facility

It’s now time to trade in those shovels and plows for rakes and mowers. With spring cleaning in full swing, you may be wondering what to do with all of that yard waste that is left over from the fall. Luckily, the SMSC Organics Recycling Facility offers a free yard waste drop-off program to residents of Shakopee, Prior Lake, and Savage on Sundays in April and May (excluding April 9 and May 28), from 8am-2pm. Please be prepared to show your ID upon arrival.

Items to Drop Off:

• Grass clippings
• Leaves
• Mulch
• Mixed loads of yard waste/brush
• Straw/hay bales
• Plants
• Flowers

New this year—participants will receive a coupon for 10% off residential bulk compost and mulch products to be used only on days that the drop-off program takes place, making it the perfect time to stock up on all of your garden and landscape materials!
