Lawn Mowers

Residents can set lawn mowers out during their regular trash days. All gas, oil or fuel must be removed before setting it out.

You may also be able to donate your lawn mower if it's in good condition to a charitable organization or thrift store. You may be able to dispose of this item at a local landfill for a fee.

Leaves

It is against City ordinance to rake, sweep or blow leaves onto the street. Debris may clog storm drains and increase the risk of floods.

Leaves can be composted in your backyard with vegetable scraps to make an effective soil conditioner.
