Thanks to help from residents, that's 833 tons of leaves that didn't clog storm drains or pollute our local rivers and streams. Rake or sweep leaves from paved surfaces (driveways, sidewalks, and curbs) for curbside yard waste collection. Rake early and often and keep leaf piles away from storm drains.
