Not at all a fun project, and talk about debris! Leaving clippings on the lawn is asking for major thatch problems and thatching actually means building a new lawn all over again. You could also start a fire, seriously as that depth of clippings creates lots of heat. Mowing once per week shouldn't be creating that big of a pile.
#Bagging lawn clippings full
Of course it is nice to be the boss of some strapping men, too! The bins could be laid on their side, shove the bag inside, flip the bin upright, bounce it a bit to pack the clippings at the bottom and lay it back on its side again for the next dumping of the full bag.
You'll soon get used to being able to hit that tarp every full bag. Lay your tarp in the place you plan having a full bag. Toad's Wild Ride"! There are two ways to handle emptying the bag of clippings to save you from hoofing it to dump them tarps or bins. My own home back in the day I mowed 4 acres. Do you happen to have curb side garbage service? Ask for the landscape debris bin? And all our clippings had to be dumped in the proper 'clean green' dump that was licensed to handle grass clippings. We mowed hundreds of acres per week, too. I've never found a mulching mower that could grind up the clippings small enough so they would disintegrate by the next week. In some areas the wild thyme is taking over to the delight of the bees, in other areas oregano likes it best, but mostly it is dense green grass of various sorts. This can change the frequency with which I cut, so it calls for some flexibility in cutting schedule. In some grass areas, particularly on top of my septic bed, I see a change in the grass/weed species that dominates. True, it is not golf course quality but that's ok by me. I never fertilize or water the grasses but they come back solid green and beefy every year. I collect all my clippings for composting and have done so for 20+ years without detriment to my grass plots that are filled with clovers and other nice inhabitants. The "mulch is ok" crowd are largely a product of the recycle movement trying to reduce the amount of compostables heading for the landfill, which is fine as a goal but might lead others to think that one should or even must mulch. So one possibility is that there is a gardener in your area that would take them off your hands. The clippings would be added to my compost heaps for use as top dressing. You never see them again and my rather large vegetable/flower garden benefits.
I would show up with a trailer, you fill the trailer, and I take them by appointment. If I were your close neighbour I would offer to take all your clippings.
