Homes and gutters
The houses in Flora Township, and what they mean for the gutters
Flora Township grew mainly after 2000. 61.5% of homes were built in 2000 or later, compared with 27.7% county-wide, for a median year built of 2003. Newer homes usually have seamless aluminum gutters, which Angi says clog less than seamed ones, but they are often two stories with longer ladder work.
35.5% of homes in Flora Township are mobile homes, whose low rooflines make for short ladder work but light-gauge gutters that bend easily.

Leaves and local rules
What happens to the leaves in Flora Township
Can you burn the leaves? In unincorporated Boone County, leaves and other landscape waste generated on a property may be burned on that property, but garbage, rubbish and anything hauled in from elsewhere may never be burned, and a burn barrel still counts as open burning. source
One rule applies everywhere in Illinois: 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 Flora Township goes out as yard waste, into a compost pile, or away with the crew.
