Spring in Greensboro brings the beauty of green leaves fluttering in the breeze—but don’t let them fool you. Come fall, those same leaves will turn into a backyard burden, and thanks to the City Council’s decision to cut loose leaf pickup, you’ll be stuck raking, stuffing bags, or paying out of pocket—again.
