Finished mowing? Just one more step.......

If grass clipping make their way into the street, remember to sweep or blow them back onto your lawn when you are finished.

Keeping clippings off the street helps keep our community looking sharp, keeps storm drains clear, prevents grass and nutrients from washing into our lakes, and keeps bicycle and motorcycle riders safe.

It's also part of Fairmont City Code Section 22-21, which makes it unlawful to throw or deposit grass clippings (among several other items), in any street or public place.

Be Smart - Do Your Part 🍃
