No other garbage is to be dumped in the grass dumpsters including tree branches.

As part of the City of Underwood's contract with Circle Sanitation, these grass dumpsters are offered as a benefit to city residents.

If unauthorized debris is found in these dumpsters, the City of Underwood is charged an extra disposal fee as the dumpster is considered "contaminated" - and unusable for recycling purposes.

This tree branch dump is regulated by ND Department of Health. Periodically, the City of Underwood applies for a burn permit for the tree branch site. Before the burn permit is issued, the ND Department of Health inspects the site to ensure that there is only tree branches and no other debris. If other debris is found at the site a burn permit will not be issued.

In order to conform to ND Department of Health regulations, the tree branch site is a secured area to monitor what is being disposed of.
