I'm in a quandry. In my neighborhood, the city has free leaf pickup in November of each year. But, I'm so used to burning my own leaves, but now I could get in trouble for that. What should I do ?
Where I live it is against the law now to burn anything. We also have leaf pickup by the city. Although I do know of some neighbors who do burn their brush and leaves. That is mostly a hangover, as many people in the small city I live in have moved there from farms when they retired. When I move to my farm, I could start burning again, but I think I am more likely to put it in the compost heap.
I can understand not wanting to wait for the city to pick up the leaves. I know we put them at the side of the road, and one good wind and they are scattered all over the lawn again.
