In his address, Mayor Pagano emphasizes the City's values, positive attributes, and long standing tradition of volunteerism as the cornerstones of why "The Beach" is a unique and special place.

Pagano candidly addresses infrastructure replacement in Minnetonka Beach as the number one safety, financial and political issue rolled into one. Specifically, he focuses on what projects have been done, what are in progress, and what is planned for the future.

Residential Brush and Leaf Pick Up

BRUSH PICKUP BEGAN APRIL 1, 2025 in Minnetonka Beach. Place your branches in a pile at the edge of your property and Public Works Superintendent Jason Hilgers will pick them up.

Brush is picked up at homes by Public Works spring through fall and should be 1" to 6" in diameter. Anything smaller than that is considered yard waste, and can be disposed of using the Republic Services Yard Waste Cart Program. Call 763-972-3335 for more information or to subscribe. Click on the Trash and Recycling Tab on the City website for more information.

Public Works also picks up leaf piles you can place at the edge of your property near the road during spring months (DATE TO BE ANNOUNCED) and then again in the fall. The 2024 fall season City leaf pickup program has ended for the year. Piles must be leaves only and should not be placed in streets.If you hire a service to do your leaves they must haul them away. The way contractors crush and compact leaves with their equipment is not compatible with the City's leaf vacuum system. Contractors should not dump leaves in the City either - please report this kind of activity to City Hall at 952-471-8878. The City pays to dispose of leaves and there has been increased dumping of them in our City over the last few years.
