Dispose of fallen leaves properly to keep storm drains clear

It's everybody's least favorite fall chore but it's important to dispose of fallen leaves properly to keep them out of our storm drains. Here are a few helpful tips to keep our waterways clean:

• • • Rake/blow leaves into a pile, bag them, and then toss them in with your trash.
    • Compost the leaves. If you don’t have a compost bin at your home, look for upcoming leaf recycling events.
    • Set your mower to mulch and let the leaves fertilize your lawn naturally.
