Homes and gutters
The houses in Roscoe, and what they mean for the gutters
Roscoe is mostly newer construction. 52.6% of homes were built in 2000 or later, compared with 13.6% county-wide, for a median year built of 2001. Subdivision houses from this era are often two stories with steep, cut-up roofs, so the gutters sit higher and the inside corners collect more.
20.4% of housing units are in buildings with 2 to 4 units and 2.9% in buildings with 5 or more, so duplexes, two-flats and complexes are a real part of the gutter work in Roscoe; associations and owners can see commercial and HOA gutter cleaning.

Leaves and local rules
What happens to the leaves in Roscoe
Leaf collection. Yard waste season runs April 1 to November 30 with unlimited curbside pickup. Use Kraft paper bags or reusable cans marked "Yard Waste", no larger than 33 gallons and no heavier than 50 pounds; plastic bags are not collected. source
Burning rules. The village code allows open burning of landscape waste on the premises where it was generated, as long as someone attends the fire the whole time. source
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 Roscoe goes out as yard waste, into a compost pile, or away with the crew.
