Participate in our FREE fall yard waste drop-off programs. Residents of Shakopee, Prior Lake, Savage, Chaska, Louisville Township, and SMSC team members can bring brush, leaves, and other yard clippings for free throughout the month of October. Participants must show ID or SMSC team member badge.

Held annually for the two weeks following Halloween, our pumpkin drop-off program allows residents to recycle their pumpkins and gourds during regular business hours—free of charge. Items must be free of all non-compostable materials, including decorations and candles. The drop-off program diverts thousands of pounds of pumpkins from the landfill and contributes to the creation of our high-quality compost.
