re: When did this phenomenon of blowing all your yard waste into the street, start?

I remember raking and sweeping and bagging as a kid. Now all these lawn care companies just blow it all into the street for it to end up in storm drains or all over your freshly detailed car. It's trashy and lazy.

It's illegal here in Austin to dump yard waste/grass clippings into storm drains. It clogs them up and can cause flooding problems during heavy rains.

Plus, as you said, it's just plain trashy and lazy.
