How Should I Handle My Leaves
?
The best practice with leaves is to simply leave them be. Leaves, much like grass, are full of nutrients that can help to fortify your lawn as they break down! Running your mower over them can speed this process up even more. Additionally, leaves are used frequently by wildlife as homes for the winter, so leave your leaves!
If you do clean-up your leaves, please keep in mind:
• Bag leaf debris and stack neatly along street
• DON’T place leaves in the street or pile the bags in the road.
• Keep your yard waste bag away from fire hydrants, poles, trees, and storm drains (also known as catch basins)
