Public Works Director Robert Green said loose leaves continue to cause havoc within Yazoo City, urging citizens to consider the impact of flooding that comes along with it.
“I’ve been seeing a lot of leaves getting blown out onto the curbs and ditches,” Green said. “We just can’t keep up with them. I have seen piles all around Clubview and all down Grand Avenue. None of them are bagged up. If they don’t want to get flooded out, they need to stop doing that.”
