As citizens in Knoxville start to clean up the leaves from their yard, it’s important to remember the rules surrounding disposing of them. Community Services Director Arlene Worral says that burning the leaves is permitted, but you may only burn leaves and other yard debris. Burning trash is not allowed. She says that the fire must be supervised by a responsible adult, and there must be a water source nearby. Worral asks that citizens don’t rake leaves into the street or into the sewers. She adds that if you need assistance raking your lawn, call the City, and they can connect you with someone to help you out.
