Storm Drains Are NOT for Grass Clippings and Leaves. They may be small, but they add up.

Grass clippings and leaves blown into the street during lawn maintenance don't just disappear; they end up in the nearest river or plugging local storm sewer systems. When it rains, anything in the street washes into storm drains that lead to area creeks and rivers. Why should you be concerned? Organic matter such as grass and leaves can cause odors in neighborhoods as well as drainage problems that lead to flooding.

So what's the best place for yard trimmings?
-Blow grass clippings back onto the lawn, where they become a natural fertilizer
-Rake or blow excess mulching into a compost pile, where they can decompose without odor
-Collect them and put them into recycle bins to dispose of properly at the compost site

Thank you for helping the City's ongoing efforts of keeping our streets, storm drains and town clean
