Leave the Leaves

OCTOBER – According to the U.S. EPA, leaves and other yard debris account for more than 33 million tons of waste in landfills every year! Leaving the leaves on your lawn benefits wildlife, and mulching the leaves into your lawn provides free fertilizer and suppresses annual weeds like dandelions. One place that leaves never belong is in a storm drain, so put your leaves to work or dispose of them properly.
