Collected items deemed suitable for reuse will be available, free of charge, to persons wanting them. |

CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS City crews do not pick up debris from new home construction. All waste generated by a contractor will be the responsibility of the contractor or occupant. |
TRASH TRUCK If you have an excessive amount of waste, the Public Works Department will provide a trash container. This container is offered for City garbage collection patrons only. To receive this service, contact the City of Minot Public Works Department for scheduling by calling 857-4140. |

YARD WASTE (COMPOST) The City does not collect yard waste with its collection crews. If you wish to dispose of yard waste, you can haul it to the City of Minot Landfill, free of charge, or haul the yard waste to one of the ten compost sites located around the City of Minot (the sites are illustrated on the map). DO NOT mix yard waste with household garbage. These compost sites are for City of Minot garbage collection patrons only and are not to be used by non-residents or by commercial haulers. Yard waste includes grass clippings, garden waste, leaves, vines, flowers, flowerbed clippings and apples that have fallen from trees. Grass clippings returned to the lawn provide up to 25 percent of your lawn's total fertilizer needs. Clippings contain about 4 percent nitrogen, 2 percent potassium and 1 percent phosphorus. While decomposing, they also serve indirectly as a food source for the bacteria in the soil, which are doing many beneficial things (such as decomposing thatch) for a healthy turf environment. |

SPECIAL WASTES
|
|||
The City of Minot landfill is located 1 mile west of Vallely Marine on 20th Avenue SW. All loads shall be enclosed or covered with a tarp so the contents of the load stay within the transporting vehicle. All waste loads are subject to random inspections. These inspections consist of unloading the vehicle and physically going through the contents of the load while the hauler waits until the inspection has been completed. All unacceptable waste shall be loaded back onto the transporting vehicle and become the property of the hauler.
