It's that time of year again in Plymouth as residents dust off their rakes and wheel out the wheelbarrows—the local Yard Waste Site is now open for another season of leaf and lawn detritus disposal, according to an announcement on the city's official website. Situated snugly next to the Plymouth Maintenance Facility at 14900 23rd Ave. N, the waste depot welcomes locals looking to rid their gardens of the past year's growth and prepare for the green months ahead, as per the City of Plymouth, MN.
Haul your yard waste over from Wednesday to Sunday each week, but keep in mind it's shut tight on Mondays and Tuesdays—not to mention a handful of holidays when folks are likely flipping burgers or hunting Easter eggs rather than heaving hedge trimmings. Specific upcoming closure dates to mark on your calendar are April 26 and 27, when the site shuts down to make way for the annual Drop-Off Days festivities; during these periods, the gates will remain locked tight as a drum.
Operating hours offer up some evening leeway from April through August, with the site staying open from 3-8 p.m. during the midweek days and offering a sunny timeframe of 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on weekends for the Saturday and Sunday yard warriors. As summer fades to fall, hours will contract slightly — 3-6 p.m. midweek and sticking to the 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. weekend schedule, according to the City of Plymouth, MN.
Do make sure to have your ID handy, the site is for locals only—Plymouth, Wayzata, Long Lake, and Medicine Lake residents are welcome but you'll need to prove you belong.
