If you haven’t caught wind of the new requirement to use compostable bags for your lawn waste, you are probably not alone.  The short of it is, as of Jan. 1^st 2010, residents of the Twin Cities area who bag their yard waste for pick up need to use biodegradable compostable bags, rather than the traditional black plastic lawn bags.  This requirement affects residents in the following counties: Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin (excluding the City of Minneapolis), Ramsey, Scott, and Washington.  Residents of the City of Minneapolis have until Jan 1st, 2013 to make the switch.

Sounds like many retailers were caught off guard with this requirement, and people are having some trouble finding these bags.  Good news- Sunnyside carries both varieties, and we have them in stock!  We have the plastic Bag to Nature 33 gallon bags and paper Bio-Save Lawn and Leaf bags.
