It’s officially Fall. The leaves know it — they’re already tinged with a Crayola box of color and launching themselves from the treetops and into your yard. And those once-glorious gardens are starting to look a little scraggly. Here’s what to do with all those heaps of leaves and garden debris:
HERE’S WHAT WE CAN TAKE: Non-woody leaf, garden, and yard debris only. No plastic bags, branches, rocks, sod, trash, or pumpkins.
