Grass Clippings
Please do not discharge lawn clippings from your lawn mower onto the city street when mowing the boulevard. City ordinance prohibits this and establishes a fine for repeat violations. The lawn clippings will wash into the storm sewer, causing them to clog up. It takes considerable time and expense to clean them out.
