Don’t feed the storm drain! Grass clippings in the street might seem harmless, but they can cause big problems downstream—literally. When it rains, they wash into storm drains and end up in local creeks and rivers, where they fuel algae growth and hurt water quality. 🌧️
✅ Blow ...grass back onto your lawn
✅ Keep clippings out of the street
✅ Protect our stormwater and waterways
