Not really, you empty the catcher on your mower directly into the bags (they are paper but the size of a large yard waste bag. I have a stand the bag goes in so really you just do a direct empty into the bag. One holds about 3 to 4 catcher's full of waste.

I SO wish I could get my wife on board with mulching.

Mine goes directly into the can. During the season, mowing both front and back fills a 96 gallon can.

That's what I was thinking. We just barely moved in, so we got shit ton of garbage to cover it up lol



I know my in-law have that service, but don't think my area do have that service.



Damn, that sounds like too much work for just a grass...
I don't think there are many places that will let you throw grass clippings in general landfill.

Whatever happened to just leaving the cut grass on the lawn and letting it decompose and fertilize it?

Very eventful morning for me between work and conversations with my friend (F).
F: Man I want to clean my engine bay, gonna bring it to the car wash and have them do it.
Me: Why don't you just buy Gunk and clean it yourself, great product.
F: I want to paint my engine and the alternator.
Me: You do realize that is not a simple process and requires good quality paint with good prep right.
F: I don't want to bring my car to the shop, its so expensive to do an oil change.
Me: Bring it to the house, it's free, just buy the oil and don't settle with that valvoline crap.

F: But it's such a hassle, how do we get rid of the oil.
Me: You bring the oil to Autozone and its free to recycle it.

F: But I don't like getting down there and deal with the plug
Me: You get a Fumoto valve.


Well gents, I got myself a little padawan.

IDK that's why I searched their city site, but they didn't say much.

Depends on the grass (and whether or not you cut it at the optimal time). I have zosia in the back and bermuda in the front. With either, if you let it get too long the clippings are so thick it just chocks your mower every 10 feet if you don't bag it. I hate yardwork so mine always gets too long.

Last couple of seasons though, I've used a lawn service so it's gotten a lot easier!

My lawn is just "grass". Well at least 40% of what grows in it is grass. I am not a lawn guy.

Yea, if it were up to me, my lawn would be whatever grows naturally in my region of the world, cut it short enough, it's all green.
