Homes and gutters
The houses in Pecatonica, and what they mean for the gutters
Pecatonica is an older-house town. 51.3% of homes were built before 1960, against 35.5% across Winnebago County, and the median year built is 1959. Only one of the 39 places we compared has a higher share of pre-1960 homes. Houses that age tend to sit under trees planted when the neighborhood was new, which are now the full-grown maples and oaks that fill gutters every fall. Older homes can also have small 2 by 3 inch downspouts or built-in box gutters, both worth a look at cleaning time.

Leaves and local rules
What happens to the leaves in Pecatonica
Burning rules. Pecatonica's burning ordinance limits fire pits to 4 feet across and allows only tree branches with no leaves attached or untreated lumber. No yard or garden waste may be burned. source
We found no published leaf pickup schedule for the village; leaves go out as yard waste through the village's hauler.
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 Pecatonica goes out as yard waste, into a compost pile, or away with the crew.
