Loyalty punch card
When you complete five visits on your punch card, you earn a free t-shirt. If you visit a yard waste site and drop off food scraps, please ask a site monitor to punch your card. If you drop off food scraps at a 24/7 site, please track your own visits. Redeem a filled punch card at any Ramsey County yard waste site.
