Feed your lawn not the landfill! Here are some helpful tips:
- Raise the wheels of your mower to make grass clippings shorter. This means no bagging or raking!
- Attach a mulching blade to your lawnmower.
- Spreading grass clippings evenly over the lawn creates a natural fertilizer and keeps the weeds away!
- Add grass clippings to a backyard composter to create your own mulch.
- If necessary, take your grass clippings to the Bloomington Compost Site.
