I dump them onto a compost pile in the way-back of my backyard. I mix my burn-pile ashes into it and make some amazing compost soil.

I use mulching blades and don't collect any trimmings. I live out in the woods you see ...

I use a catcher and dump them in the back forested part of my lot.

I mulch mine.

If I'm using the bagger I dump them in the back of my truck and let them blow out while I'm driving to work.

I cut blowing it to the inside. It all gets cut up and mulched.

I bag it. I blow the trimmings from edging into my yard before mowing.

I mow my lawn often enough that clippings aren’t an issue…

Cut it and leave it unless lots of rain and had to cut it when too long. Learned not to leave that stuff. I will go over the yard and the long stuff and mulch it up to prevent trapping moisture/fungus. Over 2 acres… no way I raking. Ever.

If you cut often enough the clippings are minimal. I mulch mine as I cut and blow the drive and sidewalk into the lawn.

Blow it in the highway so the bikers have something to bitch about.

20 acres. Leave them where they land unless I'm near the chicken coop, then I shoot them their way. They follow the lawn mower now.

Grass clippings are trashy. Get a mulching mower.

I never blow them into the street or anyone else's yard.

I used to have a compost heap and tossed the clipping there. This gave good soil for various projects, but currently have a mulching blade on my tractor so there is nothing to gather and dispose of.
