St Croix County does not have a compost site where residents can drop-off leaves and grass clippings, but there are some options for these materials.

Local municipalities  may offer a municipal leaf collection program. Consider on-site disposal options like composting and mulching. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has further information about setting up your own backyard composting project.

Farmers in St Croix County can use leaves and grass clippings as a weed barrier and soil amendment on fields where organic produce is grown. Dennis Fleischauer of Diamond D Farms in Somerset and Garry Fay of Freedom Farm in Houlton accept these items for free, but asks that people call to make arrangements for delivery to the farms. They also accept a limit amount of brush for disposal for a fee. Garry is also looking for manure for his fields at Freedom Farm. St Croix County residents can contact Fleischauer at Diamond D Farm at 715.247.5615 or 651.238.0734. Garry Fay can be reached at Freedom Farm at 715-549-6451. Composting Concepts in Woodbury, Minnesota accepts most yard waste for a fee. Call 651.436.1213 for further details.
