Please Keep Grass Clippings off the Road

Please keep grass clippings off roads.

Blowing or sweeping grass clippings onto the road may seem harmless, but it can create safety hazards and environmental concerns.

Grass clippings on roadways can:

  • Create slippery conditions for cyclists and motorcyclists
  • Block storm drains and contribute to localized flooding
  • Cause drainage issues and potholes on gravel roads
  • Wash into waterways, adding excess nutrients that can impact water qualitY

Instead, leave grass clippings on your lawn. They act as a natural fertilizer, returning valuable nutrients and moisture to the soil, helping your lawn stay greener, healthier, and thicker.

Thank you for doing your part!
