I haven’t caught my grass clippings for years. I just mulch them right into the ground with my mower. The same with my leaves. The clippings feed the lawn. My lawn never looked better.
In the 70’s NYC were going to build incinerators in each borough to handle garbage and create electricity. They wanted out of the landfill business and dumping at sea business. The whackos who forced this then went nuts because a power plant was going to be built in their town.
NIMBY.... Not in my back yard.
