Leaf Fires

In recent weeks we have had numerous incidents of leaf fires throughout Idlewild and other Sumter residential areas. The fires are being set to leaf piles that have been placed near the road for the Monday trash pick up by the city of Sumter. These acts of arson have taken place primarily after midnight primarily on Saturday nights/Sunday mornings. This has been reported to the Police Department and an article appeared in the Sumter Item. What can we do to help prevent future occurrences? If possible, please bag your yard debris and wait until Sunday evening or Monday morning to place it near the road. This will provide the additional benefit of keeping the neighborhood looking neat. Thank you for your cooperation.
