It's getting close to that time of year when you'll clear your yard of leaves and within a few hours that same yard will look like nothing happened. As the leaf cleanup season approaches, Clinton Police Chief Ben Lowers is reminding Clinton residents it is unlawful to burn leaves within city limits. 

 

 

When cleaning up leaves in the community, Chief Lowers indicates the City has a yard waste facility on South Cain Street. Additionally, the City has a pick up service that will likely start in November.

 

 

The City wide cleanup program breaks the community into five quadrants and can take about a day to get through each one. Chief Lowers implores the public to be patient while crews make their way to your house. Weather can also slow crews when it gets wet.
