Homes and gutters
The houses in Scott Township, and what they mean for the gutters
This is one of the newer parts of the Rockford area. 49.5% of homes were built in 2000 or later, compared with 15.5% county-wide, for a median year built of 2000. 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.
92.5% of occupied homes in Scott Township are owner-occupied (Ogle County: 75.4%). Owners are the ones who end up on the ladder or paying someone else to be.
Single-family detached houses are 85.5% of the housing here. Each has its own full run of gutters front and back, typically 150 to 200 feet by HomeGuide's count.
12.7% of homes in Scott Township are mobile homes, whose low rooflines make for short ladder work but light-gauge gutters that bend easily.
32.3% of homes here have four or more bedrooms (Ogle County: 21.9%). Bigger houses mean more linear feet of gutter, which is what per-foot pricing at $0.95 to $2.25 is based on.

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