​Is it ok to put my yard waste (grass clippings, branches, etc.) in the ditches near my house?

No. You are not to fill the ditches with waste as that interferes with the ditches purpose - draining water away from your home.  

All yard waste can either be composted in your own yard or you can haul it to one of 5 compost areas in Sherburne County.  The closest one is the Becker Yard Waste City located in the City of Becker at 12456 153rd Street SE.  

Becker Yard Waste Site

Composting is available at four locations throughout Sherburne County at no charge to Sherburne County Residents.  Information regarding locations can be obtained on the Sherburne County website.

To gain access, you do need a compost card which are available at Becker City Hall.  The initial card is issued at no charge.  There is a $5 fee for a replacement card.  The Becker Compost Site is located at 12456 153rd Street SE, Becker, MN.
