Relocate storm-drain-cleared leaf litter to nearby street tree pits as mulch, Rosenberg, TX.

The storm-drain grate on this block gets cleared of leaf litter on the city's own route already -- the bagged litter sits at the curb waiting for the yard-waste truck, while the street trees fifty feet away stand in bare, compacted tree pits with no mulch ring at all. The same material that was a blockage risking a backed-up gutter in one spot is a moisture-and-mulch resource ten feet away; carrying the already-cleared, already-bagged litter to the tree pits instead of leaving it for landfill pickup closes that gap.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. 1. Confirm the leaf litter has already been cleared from the storm drain grate or inlet and is bagged or piled at the curb -- this task starts from that already-cleared material, it does not touch the drain itself -- and check the bags or pile for visible trash, plastic, or contamination; reject any load that is not clean leaf matter.
2. 2. Photograph the bagged or piled litter at the curb and the bare, unmulched tree pits it will feed, noting the distance between them.
3. 3. Carry the litter by hand or hand barrow to the nearby street tree pits and spread it as an even ring 2-3 inches deep, pulled back several inches from each trunk's root flare.
4. 4. Confirm the finished ring does not mound against the bark and does not block a tree grate's drainage slots where one is present.
5. 5. Photograph the finished mulch ring at each tree pit from the matching before vantage.

What counts as done

• Before photo of the already-cleared, bagged leaf litter at the curb (not litter pulled fresh from the drain)
• Before photo of the bare, unmulched tree pit(s) it will feed
• After photo of the finished 2-3 inch mulch ring at each tree pit, pulled back from the trunk

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Urban Canopy. Urban canopy is the layer of leaves over a city, and it is infrastructure as surely as the pipes below the street: shade that cools a block in a heat wave, roots that drink a storm. The i-Tree protocol turns it into something you can count, tree by tree, so a city knows what it has and what it is losing. Mastery looks like a person who can read a whole street's trees at a walk. This packet is a piece of that census: a few trees observed carefully and recorded where the record counts.
