It looks like shite when you blow it all in the street. I usually blow it back into the grass

My lawn service doesn't do that. I think they carry it off on their trailer because they do not leave it behind.

I hate idiots who do this. It's illegal in a lot of places, looks trashy as hell, and if thick enough can be a real hazard to those of us who ride a motorcycle.

Yards that are maintained weekly or even bi weekly its not bad if a small amount of clippings get into the road, the worst is when people blow gobs of leaves into the streets that have storm drains that is what clogs them because it takes a long time for them to break down.
In the summer months grass clippings will curl up and breaking down in a day on a hot road.

My lawn service all mowers have mulching blades and we discharge in so there are very little clippings. If more people would do this it wouldn't be a problem.

I can't wait to get to the point in my life where I have so little going on that I have time to worry about grass in a street.

I just trained my fleet of goats to shite in the street. Cuts out the hassle of having to mow AND blow.

When did this phenomenon of placing commas in random places, begin?

I used to have a neighbor who would blow off the entire lawn and driveway into the street.

One of my favorite things is driving in front of someone blowing their clippings into the street and then watch them get mad as some of their clippings are blown back into their yard.

I blow mine into my a-hole neighbors yard, it requires extra effort to do so and I'm happy to do it. Even have my yard guys trained to do it when they do the yard.

It's actually illegal in ebr, of course that means so many dickbags ignore it.

I started blowing mine into the lot across the street. Just a huge oak tree. For the record we don't have storm drains but do have ditches.

I have no idea what my lawn does with it, its not like I stand out there and watch him while he's doing my yard.

I usually see it with the lawn service guys. I blow the stuff back in my yard, and thus it looks a little messy. If I'm feeling motivated I'll sweep it up and pick it up with a dust pan.
