The fall foliage is beautiful to look at but some view it as a burden once those leaves hit the ground and need to be cleaned up. 

As you clean those leaves up in the City of Clinton, Clinton Police Chief Ben Lowers reminds residents of the various ordinances surrounding leaves, starting with no burning of leaves in town.

With changes to the brush pick-up program, Chief Lowers encourages a visit to the cityofclinton.com website for a look at the codebook and the updates to the ordinance. Additionally, he reminds residents to rake those leaves to the edge of your property and not into the roadway. 

At the Monday night Clinton City Council meeting, Commissioner of Streets Ken Buchanan informed the community this week is brush pick-up week and this month would be the introduction to the new ordinances and anyone in violation they will be ticketed starting next month.
