Yard Waste

St. Croix County does NOT have a compost site where residents can drop-off leaves, brush and grass clippings.

Consider at-home disposal options like composting and mulching. WI DNR has further information about setting up your own backyard composting project.

Otherwise here are some options for disposing of these materials.
