Midway Yard Waste Site
Free Ramsey County yard waste site on Pierce Butler Route for brush and soft yard waste, for Ramsey County residents.
Midway Yard Waste Site, at 1943 Pierce Butler Route in Saint Paul, takes trees, branches and shrubs along with leaves, grass and food scraps. Its hours from April through November are Monday, Wednesday and Friday 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.; from December through March it opens on weekends only.

What Midway takes and what it does not
Trees, branches and shrubs without stumps or root balls, and leaves, grass, pumpkins and garden waste, houseplant leaves and stems included. Food scraps in compostable bags are taken too. No mulch or compost is available here.
Midway is not on the county’s list of yard waste sites open to Washington County residents; in Saint Paul those are Battle Creek and Frank and Sims.
Rules at every Ramsey County yard waste site
Ramsey County runs seven free yard waste sites for county residents, who should have a driver’s license ready as proof of residency. Businesses, dumping trailers, dump trucks and power equipment are turned away, bags of any kind stay with you, and brush has to be unloaded apart from soft yard waste. The full lists are on the county’s yard waste page ↗; that page names five holiday closures, while the county’s food scraps page also lists Thanksgiving Day for the yard waste sites.
