Unsure who is responsible for picking up the leaves fall off the trees along the roads grown and maintained by my local council but it appears that every year they just flow into the sewers or piled up on the roads. The amount is not negligible which parts or some sections of road are fully covered up.
If it is not local council’s responsibility then who?
See photos in the link below to see the amount of leaves if you cannot imagine how much is it.

They're leaves… biodegradable. It would cost councils more to pick them up and dispose of them than what it would be worth to just let nature do it's thing. Things like leaves dont pose much of an issue to storm water/sewer systems. They rip and tear pretty easy… unlike "flushable" wipes…
Now, when trees start dropping plastic leaves, let us know.
