LAWN MOWING REMINDER
When cutting your lawn near the street try to make your first two passes with the discharge chute directed away from the street. Grass can clog up storm sewer catch basins, which doesn’t allow the street to drain properly. Water that drains from the street and into storm sewers ends up in the river, along with all the grass clippings. Grass clippings also hold fertilizer and pesticides that contaminate streams, rivers, and lakes.
The DNR encourages leaving grass clippings on your lawn, as they can act as good nutrients, as well as composting your lawn clippings.
Residents who blow grass clipping into the street are subject to a citation per ordinance 6-2-13.
