Did you know that blowing or depositing grass clippings onto any street or pedestrian way is a violation of Municipal Code 12.08.010 Placing materials in streets?
This section states that “No person, their agent, employee or contractor shall deposit, cause to be deposited or permit the deposit of any material on any street, alley or pedestrian way in the city without the permission of the city engineer.” Deposits include grass clippings, yard waste, soil, stones, snow (typically enforced on private plowing of driveways) and other matter. These materials can make it dangerous to motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians and can cause plugging of storm water inlets and storm sewers.
Help us keep our streets, sidewalks, storm water inlets, and storm sewers clear of debris by disposing of yard waste properly.
