Paper leaf bags : Its time for a change
Paper leaf bags are meant to withstand a certain amount of rain. I’ve seen them out for a couple of weeks now and they’re fine, so putting them out the night or two before pickup will not pose a problem.
If you don’t like using biodegradable leaf bags, use barrels.
Also trimming branches to 4′ (as required by our town) and laying them on your apron makes a big difference for our cars and town workers.
Leaf piles have been a hazard since the October snowstorm. And now new leaves are piled on. It’s getting ridiculous and dangerous and really needs to change.
Change is hard, but, I just don’t think our current leaf cleanup system is working anymore
