New Rules in Hennepin and Carver Counties: 

Beginning January 2010 - all yard waste and organics must be in compostable bags for curbside collection.  The new rule will not impact customers who use yard waste or compostable waste carts through your garbage hauler, or customers who take yard waste to a collection facility and remove the waste from the bags themselves.

All applications for building permit in the City must be accompanied with a land alteration permit. Any grading that would substantially alter the existing grade, as defined above, must be granted a Special Use Permit from the City Council following the application procedure outlines in Section 900.15 of this Code.
