NEW! Hazardous Waste Voucher Program


Can’t wait until the September Clean Sweep event to get rid of your household or agricultural waste? St. Croix County is now offering a new $25 Voucher Program to help defray costs when you bring your hazardous materials directly to Logistics Recycling (LRI), based in Somerset.  More information can be found on our hazardous waste program page.

Compost Bin and Pail Sale 

For Backyard Composting


As part of the annual St. Croix County tree sale, we offer compost bins and collection pails to support sustainable living by recycling organic waste into nutrient-rich compost. 

Why compost? Composting reduces the need for pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. Because compost enriches soil and promotes healthy plant growth, plants grown in compost-rich soil tend to be more resilient to diseases, pests, and fungi. 

  • 25-30% of American household waste is compostable food scraps
  • Prevent methane pollution, a major factor in global warming
  • Save resources, landfill space, and return valuable organic material to the earth
  • Mix into your garden or flower beds to improve plant growth or over your lawn and embankments to help reduce erosion
