Frank and Sims Yard Waste Collection Site

Had been visiting this site for decades. Generally for grass clippings, leaves in the fall and the occasional brush pile after a storm. We would do this with various trips using a small utility trailer as to not use plastic or paper bags. Eventually over time, as we would help neighbors and other family members who had homes in Ramsey County with yard waste, our trip frequency increased and we decided to invest in a larger dump trailer hydraulic to cut back on the amount of trips we needed to make and it was working out wonderfully. We were able to help even more neighbors as a result. Unfortunately, Ramsey County recently decided to not allow hydraulic dump trailers or trucks equipped with hydraulic dump beds to use the facilities....not even for a fee...This decision by Ramsey County is extremely disappointing and just another example of poor leadership and decision making that is plaguing this once great county and state! Things like this are making the case to sell all my property and move out of Ramsey County all that more easy...roads are horrible, public services are moderate at best, and now a free use site like this is no longer accepting of more efficient equipment to make yard waste clean up easier for members of the community....SAD!

I don't like the trash at the front gate. To many people dumping.nIam afraid of getting filate tired just by the appeirence of the gate .other wise of it was clean of Garbage it would be great.

Awesome! Can’t express how great it is , to have a place near by to dump your yard waste .

5-Star! Well organized with friendly and efficient workers directing traffic for smooth manuevering at drop-off stations. It was seriously busy when I got there early and waited in a very long line. However, as soon as the gate opened the traffic moved right along. Overall, a positive experience and grateful this site was open for composting. Thank you nnCame back this year. Long line again, still a 5-Star Rating. Well organized even though this time there was no guide directing traffic. One very nice thing was the visitor kindness shown to each other. Someone let me in when I arrived coming from a side street. Thank you to that person. I also noticed others were being let in as well coming from side streets. Those were kind gestures and greatly appreciated .

I love this place. So close and easy to dump my yard waste. And the people who run it are really helpful and friendly. Such a good service to the neighborhood. Best to go during the week as weekends are the most busiest.
