As a friendly reminder, per City Ordinance, it is the resident’s responsibility to remove all yard debris, including leaves from your property.  Yard debris shall not be blown and left in the street, easements, curbs, gutters or storm drains.

As stated in Chapter 7 “Health and Sanitation,” Article 7.04.003 “Prohibited conditions; dumping” –
