Got Leaves in Your Yard?
It's important to keep leaves out of storm drains when you're doing yard work.
Blowing leaves into the street blocks storm drains. This increases maintenance costs and can cause flooding. It's also unsafe for motorists and cyclists.
5 Easy Tips
- Leave grass clippings on your lawn. It's good fertilizer.
- Mow away from the pavement to keep leaves/clippings out of the street.
- Sweep or blow clippings back onto the lawn.
- Make compost by mixing grass with leaves and soil.
- Place leaves in your yard between the curb and sidewalk for collection.
