Composting Leaves
The City of Roseville maintains a Leaf Recycling Center at 2580 Dale Street where Roseville residents may drop off leaves. The site is open for walk up service year-round. For approximately one month during the spring and fall, the gates are open to enable residents to drive up to unload leaves.
All bags must be emptied and taken away. This includes biodegradable bags, as the compost piles don’t get hot enough to break them down.
Organics Composting
Roseville has a Food Scraps (organics recycling) drop off at the City’s Leaf Recycling Center. For more information, visit the Food Scraps webpage. Free compost bags can be picked up at the Leaf Recycling Center, Roseville City Hall, and at Ramsey County Yard Waste sites.
Residents can also bring their food waste and non-recyclable paper to a Ramsey County Yard Waste site. For more information about what is accepted and locations see Ramsey County’s Yard Waste website.
Backyard Composting
Home composting is an easy way to turn organic waste into a rich soil amendment. All you need is a compost bin and a pitch fork, which you can find at most lawn and garden stores. See how to compost and find answers to the most common composting questions.
Residents can purchase a compost bin through Roseville's annual sale in the spring. Each Spring, the Recycling Association of Minnesota partners with local governments, soil and watershed districts, nonprofits, and other organizations to provide quality rain barrels and compost bins made from 100 % recycled materials at low cost to Minnesota residents.
