'Leave' your leaves out of landfills and streams this time of year.

The trees are bare, and that means our yards are full of leaves. Every year, residential yard waste takes up space in landfills and contributes to water pollution by plugging up city sewers and storm drains. Instead of leaving your fall foliage to rot on the ground or dumping your leaves with the trash, either mulch your leaves for composting or find out about your city's Fall Leaf Collection. Rake your leaves into biodegradable bags, and place them on the street for pickup, or if your city doesn't have a collection program, take them to your local recycling center.
