Blowing leaves into the street gets them out of your yard, but they eventually end up somewhere. For municipal streets, it’s usually in the stormwater drain where they clog pipes and result in street flooding. In extreme cases, water can back up into homes. Instead of blowing leaves into the street, we recommend composting or taking them to one of our Yard-Waste Drop-Off sites. https://www.facebook.com/CoMoSustainability/videos/265544074873464
