SAFETY TIP
Grass clippings on the roadside and lawn debris are a major safety threat to motorcyclists with a deadly effect. First and foremost, grass is 85% water content which makes it highly slippery. Even when the grass is dry, it is still highly slippery and will cause motorcycle carnage. The Township requests that when mowing, grass clippings should not be blown into the street. The first few passes with the lawnmower should blow the grass clippings into the lawn, not the street. If there are grass clippings on the street or sidewalk, a broom or leaf blower may blow them back into the lawn.
Disposing of grass clippings or leaves in the street or other portions of the stormwater drainage system can create flooding or water quality issues. When the system becomes blocked with grass clippings and leaves, it creates a flooding potential that could result in property damage.
Remember, when grass clippings remain on the lawn, they add free fertilizer to your lawn.
Keeping your leaves and lawn clippings out of the streets and gutters will have significant benefits for the local streams. Grass clippings contribute nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorous, which cause unwanted and uncontrolled growth of algae and aquatic weeds in the waterways.  Increased algae growth can cause green algae blooms. This can also take much-needed oxygen away from fish. Limiting phosphorus reduces algae blooms.
