2021 Road Construction Projects

Road construction is about to resume in Windsor Heights. Find out what you can expect this spring by clicking the button below.

The FY22 budget was approved at the 3/15 City Council meeting. We've created an FAQ to breakdown the numbers and answer common questions.

Have a question for the City? Or need to report a pothole or other issues in Windsor Heights? Send us a text! We are excited to launch our new texting service TextWH! This is a non-emergency service. Always call 911 in the event of an emergency.

Just text your question or concern to (855) 637-9442. If you're asking a question, you'll get a response with a link to our website with more information. If that doesn't answer your question, you'll then be able to send a message to City staff who will contact you during normal business hours.

You can also report a concern by texting (855) 637-9442. You'll be able to send images as well. This is a quick and convenient way to let the City know about issues in our community.

You don't need to sign up or register. Just make sure to save (855) 637-9442 in your contacts so you can text the City when you need to next time.

TextWH is different from our email and text alerts. This is an opportunity for residents to contact the City with a question or concern by texting (855) 637-9442.

Our email and text alerts are sent directly to residents, but you must sign up to receive these alerts. They are only sent during snow parking bans or other breaking news events.

Alerts from the City of Windsor Heights are sent for snow parking bans, road closures, water main breaks, and other breaking news. Unlike TextWH, our new interactive texting service described above, you do need to sign up to receive these alerts. Click the button below to sign up.

Yard waste collection starts next week! The 2021 Compost It! season runs weekly on Fridays from April 9th through November 27th. City Hall is currently closed to the public, but you can purchase your sticker online and we will mail it to you. If this is your first year, your new cart will also be dropped off at your home.

Yard waste bags and bag stickers can also be purchased online. Metro Waste Authority will ship these to your home. If you need these sooner, click the button below to see a list of retailers who sell bags and stickers. Please call the retailer first to double-check that they have them in stock. Windsor Heights residents can purchase these in other cities, they don't have to be purchased within city limits.

Metro Waste Authority manages the Compost It! program. This year they have hired ASI as their hauler. That means that you will see ASI trucks picking up your yard waste, but nothing regarding the way you use the program is changing, including carts, stickers, and bags; just the trucks that pick it up. 

The first street sweeping of the year is scheduled for the first full week of April, which is next week. Please don't park on the street if you can help it. Street sweeping is part of our Citywide Stormwater Management Plan because it helps keep road grit, dirt, leaves, and other debris from getting in the storm sewer.

The City Wide Garage Sale will be on Saturday, June 5th. This is a designated date for residents to host garage sales from their Windsor Heights homes. If you would like to participate, please email your name and address to wtucker@windsorheights.org.

The City Wide Cleanup Day will take place on Saturday, June 12th. This is a chance for residents to get rid of any unwanted items that won't fit in their trash cart. Click the button below for more information on what you can and can't set on your curb.

The City of Windsor Heights is dedicated to smart stormwater management. The City aims to increase both water quality and water quantity through the implementation of stormwater best management practices (BMP’s). Stormwater is water from rain, snowmelt, and surface drainage that runs off impervious surfaces such as paved surfaces, roofs, and compacted lawns. Stormwater can collect sediment, litter, contaminants, and other pollutants. As part of the metro-wide #RainCampaign, the City Council approved reimbursements for soil quality restoration projects to be covered under this program.
