Leaf Collection & Storm Drain Safety
- The Schedule: Vacuum collection begins in November. Check the [Leaf Collection Map] for your specific zone.
- Don't Clog the System: Never rake leaves into the street or over catch basins. This causes street flooding during fall rains.
- Mulching: The City encourages mulching leaves into your lawn to improve soil health and reduce truck emissions.
"Look Ahead" Driving
- River Fog: Expect heavy fog along the Tennessee River and I-24. Use low beams only; high beams reflect off fog and decrease visibility.
