It is that time of the year again!!! The weather is getting warmer, and the Township is starting to be a-buzz with the sounds of lawn mowers.
Just a
reminder when the weather starts warming up and grass starts growing high, to cut the grass in a responsible manner. Grass clippings and other vegetative clippings should never be raked or blown into the street or in the storm drains. As harmless as it seems, these grass clippings can cause a potential safety and health risk.
The vegetative debris can clog storm drains, resulting in flooding of the street and private property. Not only these clippings can flood the neighborhood, but they can also add unnecessary nutrients, which can add to algae growth in our waterways that can be harmful to fish and other aquatic life.
In addition to being harmful to our aquatic friends, these grass clippings in the street can be harmful to our friends on wheels. The grass clippings can make the street slippery as ice and very hazardous for bicyclists and motorcyclists. Please be sure to dispose of your vegetative clippings in a responsible manner. The West Bradford Township Compost Site is open Wednesdays and Saturday from 9;00AM to 2:00PM to dispose of your vegetative waste.
