Keep your yard and water clean this fall!🍂
Fallen leaves may seem harmless until they pile up and block local drainage systems. To keep those cozy autumn vibes going while protecting the environment, here are some cleanup tips you can follow:
1.) Mulch or compost: Use leaves as garden mulch or mow them down for compost. They are packed with essential nutrients that improve soil structure, moisture retention, and fertility.
2.) Protect storm drains: Never rake leaves into storm drains or ditches, as this can clog drainage and sewer systems.
3.) Dispose of them properly: Place leaves in designated bags for collection.
