It was mutually decided that the Municipal Yard Waste Sites located <br />in the City of Becker, Big Lake, Elk River and Zimmerman will no longer accept commercial tree and <br />yard waste that is generated outside of the County and on commercial projects located within the <br />County. Many factors play a role in this decision such as to stop the spread of invasive species, <br />reduce the amount of tree waste that is inundating these sites, and for the safety of County residents <br />using these sites. As a result, commercial passes will not be issued to companies for 2021. <br />Companies who offer services to County residents for leaf cleanup and tree trimming services will <br />still be allowed to utilize and enter the sites using the resident’s pass that they are offering this <br />service to. <br />If you have any questions regarding this memo, please feel free to contact any of the cities or the <br />County. <br />______________________________ ______________________________ <br />City of Elk River City of Zimmerman <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />______________________________ ______________________________ <br />City of Becker City of Big Lake <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />______________________________ <br />Sherburne County <br />
