There’s something wrong with this image. Can you tell what it is?

As the trees begin to change, remember our storm drains are not a trash can for fallen leaves!

When leaves enter the storm drain, they decompose in the Rio Grande, releasing chemicals that deplete oxygen in the water and harm native fish and wildlife. And when they don't make it to the river, they clog these drains and put our streets at risk of flooding.

Instead of blowing leaves into nearby drains, use them for mulch or compost, or just bag them and toss them in the trash!
