The leaves are falling in mass right now and the leaf piles are already showing up around the community.

Clinton Police Chief Ben Lowers is sending out the reminder that first and foremost, there is no burning within city limits in Clinton.

Chief Lowers reminds the yard waste facility remains open as we get into this heavy leaf cleanup season and after this weekend, the facility will adjust its hours with the time change.

Chief Lowers reminds to get those leaf piles to the edge of the curb or up to the road but not in the road itself. City officials have stressed in the past, getting those leaves into the roadway does not get them picked up any faster as the street department maintains a schedule when leaf cleanup starts that just rotates throughout the community for several weeks.
