The Leaflet is a mini-update from the City of Maple Plain; just a glance at recent Council discussions or other issues. If you have questions or ideas for future updates, please send them to the City of Maple Plain.

MP Fire Department consolidation: On August 21, at a joint meeting with the City of Independence, the Maple Plain City Council approved a resolution to move forward with the consolidation of the Maple Plain Fire Department (MPFD) into the West Suburban Fire District (WSFD).

Battle of the Badges: The Battle of the Badges took place on August 26th, and it was a game to remember! With thunderous applause, West Hennepin Public Safety took to the field, defending their title against the noble and tenacious Maple Plain Fire Department. It was a battle filled with ups and downs, but in the end, West Hennepin Public Safety held on to its title for one more year! For more information, click HERE.

Organics Recycling: Organic recycling is a voluntary program that collects food scraps and other compostable materials. There is an additional yearly fee to participate. Although households are not required to participate in organics recycling, starting January 1st, 2025 Maple Plain has a public organics drop-off site with a dumpster provided by Republic Services near the Public Works building (1645 Pioneer Ave.). For more information, click HERE.

Sustainable Natural Landscapes: The concept of a "managed natural landscape" has gained traction, driven by both ecological awareness and a desire for lower-maintenance yard options. State law that prevents cities from prohibiting "planned, intentional, and maintained native landscapes" on private property. For more information, click HERE.

Roadside Dumping & “Free” Items: We’ve noticed more and more items being left along Maple Plain’s roadsides—furniture, appliances, and other “Free” items that never get picked up. While the intention might be good, when these items sit out too long, they become public nuisances and code violations.. For more information, click HERE.
