Where you leave your leaves matter!

Over the past 6 weeks, we've been sharing ways to use leaves and why we should mind where we leave them:



-You can fertilize your lawn by mulching your fallen leaves with your lawn mower, compost leaves, or even create leaf mold to sustain soil moisture in your garden next season.

-You can also participate in Shorewood's bulk leaf collection by raking your leaves 12 inches in front of the curb in your parkway (not in the street) or bag your leaves in brown biodegradable yard waste bags to be collected with weekly garbage, recycling, and yard waste collection.

-By taking steps to care for your leaves, you can prevent raked leaves at the curb from clogging the storm drains and prevent leaves from potentially adding excess nutrients into streams.
