Leaves and local rules
What happens to the leaves in Candlewick Lake
Leaf collection. WM handles residential trash, recycling and yard waste pickup for the Candlewick Lake Association, which announces the season's last yard waste pickup to members each fall. source
Burning and landscaping rules inside a gated association come from the association's own rules as well as Boone County's, so check with the association office first.
Whatever the local schedule, Illinois law keeps leaves out of the garbage: since 1990, landscape waste can't be mixed with trash bound for a landfill and must go out in biodegradable containers (415 ILCS 5/22.22). So gutter debris in Candlewick Lake goes out as yard waste, into a compost pile, or away with the crew.
