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