Leaves and local rules
What happens to the leaves in Pecatonica Township
Burning. Winnebago County bans burning leaves and grass at all times in unincorporated subdivisions that sit within a mile of a town that bans it. Farther out, dry landscape waste may be burned only on weekends from April 15 to May 15 and on November weekends, between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m., at least 25 feet from any building or property line and never when the wind tops 10 mph. source
Under every local rule sits the state one: 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 Township goes out as yard waste, into a compost pile, or away with the crew.
