The Mount Pleasant Fire Department is issuing a reminder to the community regarding the prohibition of leaf burning within city limits. This regulation is in place due to the potential health risks posed by leaf smoke, particularly for individuals with pre-existing chronic health conditions. Additionally, the smoke can create a public nuisance, affecting the overall air quality in the area.
To ensure compliance with this law and to promote a healthier environment, residents are encouraged to collect their leaves in bags and place them at the curbside for collection by the city’s Sanitation Department. This approach not only adheres to local regulations but also helps maintain the community’s well-being.
