(a) Regular mowing is a normal and accepted management activity for turfgrass lawns. It is not the intent of the Village to prescribe or proscribe any specific mowing method or interval.
(b) Grass clippings generated by mowing on parcels within the Village shall be collected and disposed of through established curbside pickup processes per Chapter 951 of the Village Code (Garbage and Refuse) or may be retained on the originating parcel through mulching, composting, or other acceptable means. Parcel owners may also remove or have removed grass clippings to any legally allowed location outside the Village by their own means.
(c) During mowing, grass clippings shall not be blown by the mowing equipment into the travelled way of any road or street within the Village. This is intended to limit the accumulation of vegetative matter in the Village storm drainage system and prevent potential safety hazards for motorists and pedestrians. Occasional and incidental wind-blown grass clippings in roadways should be avoided if possible, but are not a violation of this section.
