You really have to check the local ordinance for direction hete. Many communities have adopted ordinances which require landscaping contractors to remove debris when they complete work. ?This includes grass clippings, leaves, waste plants, etc so they don't end up in municipal land fills. A homeowner doing their own landscaping can follow local trash rules. But contractors are usually obligated to clean up & haul away debris. That said if contractor doesn't it is ultimately the homeowners' resposibility for what happens on their property.
