Blowing or Sweeping Leaves or
Grass Clippings in the Streets is a Violation Did you know that grass clippings and tree
leaves are considered a source of pollution when
washed directly into storm drains? Any material
swept or blown into neighborhood streets and

drains. The storm drains carry that waste
material to one of our creeks here in Arlington.

water and block the sunlight that is essential
to aquatic life. And, as they decompose, can
lower the oxygen content of the water which can
also harm fish and other living things. Read
