Leafy Lesson: Please Rake Storm Drain Inlets Clean Fall leaves blocking storm drains can lead to flooding and contaminated waterways. Please clear your property's storm drains of any yard waste and leaf debris.  Your cleanup will make winter safer too: Old leaves can be slipping hazards as fall temperatures drop and rain, snow, and ice cycles begin. So please DO safely collect leaf and yard waste for a safer winter season. Contact your private hauler for specific requirements. Leaf, Recycling and Trash Collection
