2. Where can I dispose of tree branches, grass clippings, or leaves?

The Bunker Hills compost site is located at 13285 Hanson Boulevard. It is open from April 1 to November 30, weather permitting.

Call the compost site at 763-767-7964 for hours and fees. Please DO NOT dispose of grass, leaves, branches or other debris in the street. This can clog drainage areas and contribute to contaminated stormwater runoff.

4. How do I report a pothole?

Use the Coon Rapids Report It system. This allows you to describe the location of the pothole, submit a photo and email your request to our staff.

City staff rotate through various areas of town to get to all locations as quickly as possible.

5. When does the City sweep streets?

Street sweeping occurs in the spring and summer. Residents can assist City crews by keeping their garbage/recycling cans out of the street, and place them behind the curb. This allows crews to clean streets thoroughly from curb-to-curb. Please do not keep basketball hoops, hockey goals or other materials in the streets or cul-de-sacs.
