& Yard Waste
WLSSD operates a yard waste site where residents can bring their yard trimmings, leaves, and brush for composting. The Materials Recovery Center accepts brush, only. It is illegal in the State of Minnesota to place these items in a landfill. Some Duluth area garbage haulers offer curbside collection of leaves and grass. Information on home composting and WLSSD's food waste drop sites explain how to further reduce waste.

WLSSD and the Regional Stormwater Protection Team (RSPT) will host a truckload sale of Systern Rain Barrels and Earth Machine Composters from Norseman Plastics on Saturday, June 27th at the lower east parking lot at Lake Superior College, 2101 Trinity Rd in Duluth.
