| Put Grass Clippings in Compost Pile, Not in Storm Drains! |
 As you maintain your well-manicured lawn this spring, be sure you don't dispose of grass clippings and other lawn care waste in storm drains. When it rains, excess grass clippings, along with lawn care chemicals, are washed into storm drains that empty into streams. Their decomposition is harmful to aquatic life and creates a lack of oxygen in water. What You Can DoGrass clippings provide valuable nutrients and organic matter to your lawn, shrubs, and flowers. So, sweep up those extra grass clippings and mix them into the soil, or add them to your compost pile! |
