"leaf districts"We have leaf districts in some parts of the city where the city uses heavy equipment to remove all the leaves. They do it in many cities. They have a schedule and you have to move your car from the street or they'll tow it.
Are there penalties for not participating in leaf removal? Are there fines for not raking?

My town does 3 free leaf pick ups in the fall, more than that’s a $50 fee like when you have trash to pick up that doesn’t fit in the can. For one of the most impoverished towns in the state our city sure is out to squeeze as much as it can from its people.We have leaf districts in some parts of the city where the city uses heavy equipment to remove all the leaves.

There's no penalty. You can leave the leaves in your yard if you want or you can rake them into the street for them to pickup. The only penalty is the towing fee if you don't move your car from the street on leaf day. I'm not in a leaf district. We have trees but not like they do in some areas that have lots of Maples, Elms, and other deciduous trees that drop leaves. I have lots of pine needles though that clog the gutters.

They're great for the garden beds. All that organic material breaking down over the winter. I can't believe I wasted them for years.

You should install those leaf blockers or whatever for the gutters. We have them on ours. I couldn't imagine trying to clean ours out. It's 3 stories and probably a 60-70 ft drop from the roof to the ground in the back.

Those things don't work with pine needles despite the claims made by companies selling them. I don't have 3 stories so I just do it by hand. It's just the gutter along the back of the house. I have some tall fir trees in the back. A little work to clean the gutters is worth it to have the trees. I know people that have cut down trees because of needles or leaves. I don't understand it and I felt sad for the trees. I would plant more trees but they would block the sun from the garden.

We have some really tall white pine I'd like to take down.

They work decent for us here and I'm surrounded by Pine and Evergreen trees.

While there are many reasons to take down a tree, I'm still saddened when it is a healthy tree.

Would suck if they fell on the house. Another one blocks lots of winter sun.....it would be nice to have that light and warmth. It's very dangerous too, that one is gnarly and sheds big branches like clothes at the entrance to a nudist resort
