  Leaves must be emptied from bags at the disposal sites. Regular disposal fees apply to leaves mixed with other yard debris. Other disposal options include applying leaves as winter mulch or using yard debris collection carts available from Waste Connections of Washington. Clark County reminds residents not to blow, rake or sweep leaves onto streets, where they can block storm drains, cause flooding and create driving hazards. Intentionally blowing, raking or sweeping leaves onto county roads is littering and violates county code. To help prevent flooding on neighborhood streets with relatively light traffic, residents can clear clogged storm drains by standing in a safe place and using a rake or other garden tool to pull leaves from the path of flowing water. However, residents should not try to clear storm drains on busy streets. Call Clark County Public Works at (360) 397-2446 to report clogged storm drains or flooding on busy streets outside city limits.
