Yard Care & Weed Control

Please refrain from raking leaves or shooting grass clippings into the street. The City of Detroit Lakes has a nuisance ordinance that prohibits putting yard waste onto City streets and sidewalks.  It not only causes phosphate runoff, but it also creates hazardous, slippery conditions when wet and plugs catch basins, causing local flooding.
