The weather this weekend is expected to be pretty nice and might give you an opportunity to start cleaning up your yard.

If you're in need of a place to get rid of yard waste, three Ramsey County collection sites will be open Saturday and Sunday.

The Frank & Sims, Midway and Shoreview/White Bear Township sites will be accepting grass, leaves and brush.

You've used that pumpkin for a ghostly effect last weekend....and it's starting to sag and rot on the front steps.

Now you can recycle it--without the candles, of course--at one of Ramsey County's seven yard waste collection sites.

You can also recycle corn stalks, straw and hay from your Halloween decorating efforts.

Ramsey County has collection sites in Arden Hills, Fr

If you have an ash tree in your yard now is the perfect time to trim it up or take it down.

The emerald ash borer, a beetle that attacks and kills ash trees, is hibernating until spring.

The beetle is inactive between Labor Day and May 1st most years, but since this year has been unusually warm, it was active through September.
