Leaves should be placed at least ten (10) feet from storm drains.  Leaves should be kept at least one foot from the curb to allow runoff from rain to flow freely.  Do not park vehicles close to piles.  Leaves placed curbside that do not meet the strict guidelines above will not be collected.
 
Leaves placed at the street by professional landscapers, contractors, or anyone hired by a homeowner, must be removed by them.
