FAQ

What do I do with food scraps in Falcon Heights?

Residents of Falcon Heights can now recycle food waste at Ramsey County collection sites, with no charge for drop-off. To utilize this service, proof of residency in Ramsey County is required. Falcon Heights has a designated food scraps collection site located at City Hall, 2077 Larpenteur Ave West. 

How to Participate:

  • Pick up free compostable bags at Ramsey County yard waste sites or visit Falcon Heights City Hall during business hours.
  • Fill the bags with food waste (including meat, dairy, and bones), non-recyclable paper (like paper plates, napkins, and pizza boxes), and compostable plastics.
  • Bring your filled bags to a Ramsey County collection site and deposit them in the designated container.
  • If you need additional compostable bags, simply ask a site monitor. Extra bags are also available on the collection site fence or inside Falcon Heights City Hall.

Remember to keep food waste separate from yard waste. For more information about the food scraps recycling program and a complete list of accepted items, please visit the Ramsey County food scraps page.

How is Yard Waste handled in Falcon Heights?

What to do with leaves:

Please do not rake your leaves into the street! We have the streets swept twice a year in Falcon Heights. This is not a leaf pick-up service.

Please be a good neighbor. When you put your leaves into the street, you increase pollution of stormwater, add to slippery street hazards in rain or snow, and make a big mess in front of your own house and the other homes on your block. Please find another solution for the leaves from your yard.

Run the mower over them to mulch them in place. This is recommended if you can still see the grass through the leaves. If you can’t see the grass, then you need to rake.

Collect them and put them in your compost pile.

Bag them and arrange for your garbage hauler to pick them up, if you have contracted for yard waste service.

What to do with brush and branches:

As the weather warms up and people get to work in their yards, we see a lot of brush-and-branch piles around town. The City Code does not allow you to keep brush piles on your property! They pose a fire danger, they encourage weeds and vermin, and they make your property and neighborhood look bad.

Contact your garbage hauler and arrange a special pickup. Your hauler may have bundling and size requirements; be sure to ask when you call. There will probably be an extra fee.
Organize a “mini-neighborhood-clean-up” in the spring and get your street spruced up for summer. You might find a neighbor willing to contribute a little more of the trimming and raking in exchange for some help bundling their brush and branches and hauling them away. It’s a good way to connect!
