🍂 Help Keep Mineola Draining Properly This Fall!

As you begin your seasonal yard cleanup, we kindly ask all residents to pile leaves in your yard—not against the curb or in the street.

When leaves are pushed into the curb or gutter line, they can block the flow of stormwater, prevent proper drainage, and may clog storm drains, leading to potential flooding and other costly issues.

Keeping leaves in your yard until collection ensures that our drainage system works efficiently and helps maintain a clean, safe community for everyone.

Thank you for doing your part to keep Mineola beautiful and functioning smoothly! 🌿

Be sure to mark your calendars for next year: NatureFest will take place the 3rd weekend of October each year. We’re already looking forward to another fantastic celebration of nature, community, and fun!
