Homes and gutters
The houses in Manchester Township, and what they mean for the gutters
Manchester Township is an older-house town. 41.4% of homes were built before 1960, against 25.5% across Boone County, and the median year built is 1971. That usually means big street and yard trees overhead, older sectional gutters with more seams, and hangers that have been working loose for decades. Older homes can also have small 2 by 3 inch downspouts or built-in box gutters, both worth a look at cleaning time.
95.4% of homes in Manchester Township are detached single-family houses. Each has its own full run of gutters front and back, typically 150 to 200 feet by HomeGuide's count.
37.1% of homes here have four or more bedrooms (Boone County: 28.7%). Bigger houses mean more linear feet of gutter, which is what per-foot pricing at $0.95 to $2.25 is based on.

Leaves and local rules
What happens to the leaves in Manchester 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 Manchester Township goes out as yard waste, into a compost pile, or away with the crew.
