Blowing grass or leaves into the street can clog storm drains and cause flooding. When yard waste washes into lakes, it breaks down and fuels algae blooms—these can be harmful to wildlife, fish, and even dogs.
Asbury Park Public Works does not accept grass clippings, and improper disposal could lead to a fine.
The best option? Leave clippings on your lawn to naturally feed it, or compost them properly. For more info, visit www.cityofasburypark.com/grass
