Avoid Blocking Storm Drains with Yard Waste

Help keep the storm drain clear. Please rake leaves to your usual trash and recycling collection area, placing them as close to the curb as possible without blocking storm drains, fire hydrants, driveways, sidewalks or parking. If there is no curb or sidewalk, place leaves on the house side of the ditch. Remove any debris from the leaves such as sticks or other yard waste before placing them out.
