Sustainable Eden Prairie
Sustainable Eden Prairie is an ongoing effort focusing on education and implementation of sustainable practices to protect the environment and natural resources our community enjoys.
Building upon the success of the 20-40-15 initiative, the City is leading by example and providing a foundation for residents and businesses to carry out sustainable practices in four areas — energy, landscape, waste and water.

When the snow melts, runoff on your street washes through storm sewers and into local lakes, ponds and rivers, carrying yard waste and other pollutants.
Proper disposal of yard waste helps protect the health of local waterways.
Options for managing yard waste include curbside pickup available through most trash haulers, using a local drop-off site or composting in your
backyard. The Eden Prairie Yard Waste Site is open April 24–Nov. 22.
