Elijah’s Tree CareWhere Plymouth residents can take brush.
The Plymouth Yard Waste Site is next to the Maintenance Facility at 14900 23rd Avenue North. It is available at no charge to residents of Plymouth, Medicine Lake, Wayzata and Long Lake. Bring a driver’s license or utility bill showing a current address.
The city lists brush, logs with no maximum size, diseased trees, leaves and soft garden waste among accepted materials. It does not accept stumps, grass clippings, lumber, sod, soil or Christmas trees. Separate and unbag materials; residents unload their own loads and take empty bags away.
No commercial haulers or landscapers may use the site. Resident access is not permission for a contractor to haul there.
The site operates seasonally and is closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Check the current city schedule or call the Yard Waste Hotline at 763-509-5930 before making a trip.

Plan stump disposal separately.
A branch pile and a stump are different disposal problems. Because Plymouth’s site does not accept stumps, decide whether you want stump grinding included in the job and how any remaining material will be managed. Make that part of the estimate rather than a decision after the tree is down.
Make room for a varied next generation of trees.
Plymouth’s Forestry Division sponsors an annual tree and shrub sale to help residents replace buckthorn or trees lost to disease. The city connects this program to the need for a more diverse tree population in the face of emerald ash borer.
If you are replacing a removed tree, the city’s forestry resources are a useful starting point. Sale availability and timing should be checked directly with the city.

Tree work tailored to your yard.
Elijah can discuss pruning, removals, storm cleanup, stump grinding and tree health services. Show nearby structures and the route from the driveway to the tree in your photos. Agree on the cleanup and disposal scope before scheduling.
For a tree beside a road, or tree work connected to construction, ask the city which department should review your project before work begins.
