The temperatures are cooling down, and fall cleanup is just around the corner! Here are a few tips to help keep your yard looking its best this season.
Rake and bag leaves from your yard, under trees, along the curb, and on top of storm drain inlets. You can also mulch stray leaves with your mower.
Washington County has a reciprocal agreement with Ramsey County, allowing residents to take yard waste to select Ramsey County yard waste sites for free disposal.
