Cut It and Leave It!

Spring is here and that means it is time to get out your lawnmowers! We want to remind our residents to be mindful when cutting their lawns this season and use the Cut it and Leave it method.  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 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.  For more information, visit www.hillsborough-nj.org/boards/green-team
