When Autumn Leaves Start to Fall

The falling leaves, drift by my window... If that was all they did it probably would be okay; but, gravity brings them to the ground where they make a slippery mess.
It is that time of year again gang. The trees are beyond their display of colors stage and are now dropping leaves all over lawns, cars, and garden furniture. Many homeowners are using these last mild days to rake the rubbish to the curb but a word of caution. Before you get in an afternoon of leaf throwing, blowing, or rolling, it might be in your best interest to check out the ordinances regarding yard debris for your town.
Some towns restrict not only the time when one can put leaves at the curb but also how close they may be to a storm drain. The ordinance will have some information on whether or not leaves may be bagged or otherwise contained and how soon one may put yard debris at the curb. Knowing the ordinance could keep you from having to pay a stiff fine or as in West Windsor from having to spend time in jail or do community service.
