GRASS CLIPPINGS

What to do
Grass clippings contribute a large amount of waste to New Jersey’s municipal solid waste stream. After Mowing your lawn simply let the grass clippings fall down into the soil
which will quickly decompose to fertilize your soil. By doing so the grass clippings will not only benefit your lawn by adding nutrients to the soil but also reduce municipal waste.
Grass Clippings do not contribute to thatch!
Thatch is an accumulation of dead roots, stems and rhizomes that slowly decompose. Grass clippings are made of 95% water, which decompose very rapidly and will not harm your lawn. Thatch is a result of an over‐fertlized lawn.
