Leaves and local rules
What happens to the leaves in Marion Township
Can you burn the leaves? Ogle County's solid waste department says burning landscape waste on the property where it was generated in an unincorporated area does not break state law, provided the smoke disperses, the fire is not in a restricted area or a town with a burn ban, and it is at least 50 feet from the nearest home. 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 Marion Township goes out as yard waste, into a compost pile, or away with the crew.
