While we typically focus on disposal of leaves when they begin to fall, leaf issues can be a problem throughout the winter months, or even throughout the year if yards are not well kept. Grass clippings can also cause issues in warmer months. Improper disposal can lead to problems with our sewers, and potentially lend to related issues with sewer backup into homes.
Please be sure to keep up with yard cleanliness and proper disposal of yard waste, either by organized composting or in your waste pickup. You can contact our current hauler, Waste Connections, for details about free yard waste pickup opportunities, or arrange to pay for this service for any portion of the year.
MSD Offers some helpful information on these topics:
• Yard Waste Disposal
• Preventing Building Backups
Seniors in our community needing assistance with leaf raking may also be interested in the services of County Older Resident's Program (CORP) or St. Louis NORC.
Thanks for helping in keeping Brookdale's sewers clear and our yards looking great!
