WEEKLY UPDATE:
LEAF TIPS:
• Place raked leaves in paper bags to be collected by the Town (11/17 – 12/11 only)
• Leaves belong on lawns not storm drains, only rain down the drain.
• Keep leaves out of streets and storm drains by composting them.
• Mow your leaves with a mulching mower and let them stay on the lawn as a natural fertilizer.
• Leaves are loaded with natural fertilizer that pollute and harm our rivers, streams and ponds.

STORMWATER TIP OF THE WEEK:
Sweep up yard debris rather than hosing down areas. Compost or recycle yard waste when possible.
WATERSAVING TIP OF THE WEEK:
Check faucets and pipes for leaks. Even the smallest drip from a worn washer can waste 20 or more
gallons a day. Larger leaks waste hundreds.
PET WASTE TIP OF THE WEEK:
Pet waste left on lawns and in public spaces in not only gross, it can be quite harmful too.
SEPTIC WASTE TIP OF THE WEEK:
Stagger use of water based appliances. All water used in your home ends up in the septic system.
