What Mineral Springs does with leaves and limbs
Mineral Springs has no municipal curbside service per Union County, so leaves go with a private hauler or to a county site.
The county's Austin Chaney Road site takes large yard waste piles for a fee, according to the Village of Marvin's page. Confirm accepted material and hours with Union County before loading a truck.
Without a town leaf truck in Mineral Springs (private haulers and county sites), the job is finished when the material leaves the property. We load, haul and, where it suits the lot, mulch leaves in place.
Storms, trees and burning
Union County's overall rating in FEMA's December 2025 National Risk Index is relatively moderate. Its ice storm rating is very high, with strong wind relatively high and tornado relatively high. Ice and wind work show up in yards as downed branches.
Open burning rules vary by town and fire district, so our plans use hauling or mulching, and we confirm local rules before any burn is considered.
