❗Additional Location❗

As of 👉 today, August 15, 👈 a new compost container and cardboard recycling bin has been added south of Williston High School.

As a reminder, there are 4 locations in the city for leaves and grass composting ONLY (❌no bags❌). Each location is accompanied by a cardboard recycling bin.

🍂 Corner of 5th St E & 8th Ave E (across the street on the west side of old Public Works)
🍂 Western Star Ball Complex - 19th Ave W & 15th St W
🍂 Rickard Elementary School - 14th St E & 2nd Ave E
🍂 Williston High School- Prairie Commons between 44th Ave W & Long Branch Ave

❌Please do not throw branches into these bins!❌ Doing so ruins the whole load and defeats the purpose of composting.

If you bring leaves to the bins in bags, you can dispose of your bags in the 300-gallon container at the sites.

If you have branches, you can dispose of them at the City Landfill (5176 134th Avenue NW) where it costs $20 a ton or a minimum of $7. You can also take your compost (leaves and grass) to the landfill free of charge!

OR!

Bundle branches in 3-4 foot sections. These must be bound together and light enough for one person to pick up.

Place your bundles on the boulevard and call sanitation (701.577.6368) to let them know you have branches.

For questions, please contact Public Works at 701.577.6368
