Bunker Hills and Rice Creek are two compost sites in Anoka County that accept yard waste, tree waste, and organic food scraps from residents. They also take Emerald Ash Borer-infested tree waste. Visitors are advised to arrive 15 minutes before closing, present proof of residence, and ensure their waste is free of garbage or plastic. Tree waste can be loose or bundled, with bundling encouraged for lower fees. The sites have specific hours of operation depending on the season, and fees are charged based on volume for tree waste. Anoka County residents can get unscreened compost for free, and there are additional materials available for purchase. Commercial businesses have different rates and need to contact the site operator for more information. The sites do not accept certain materials like garbage or recyclables, and state law prohibits putting tree and yard waste in the garbage.
