Don't Blow It (Watershed Protection)

Published on January 21, 2024

Don't blow it, Waco! Only rain goes down the drain!

Storms drains lead to creeks, streams, rivers, and lakes. Leaves and grass can cause clogs and flooding, so don't blow them into the streets and down drains!

What can you do with your leaves? So glad you asked!

• MOW THEM
A light layers of leaves can be mowed and left on the law.

• BAG THEM
Put leaves in paper bags on the curb for collection.

• MULCH THEM
A lawn mower with a bag collects shredded leaves for composting.

• COMPOST THEM
Add yard waste, grass clippings, and leaves to your compost.

• MIX THEM IN
Add shredded leaves directly to your gardens and flower beds.

Thank you for doing your part in protecting our watershed, Waco!
