Why are the grass cuttings not taken away?
It is currently not Warwick District Council standard practice to ‘box off’ grass cuttings, and therefore the grass cuttings are not collected but left to go back into the ground. To remove grass cuttings would more than double the costs of this service, and the ground would deteriorate as cuttings and leaves put nutrients back into the ground. The contractor is required to sweep or blow off any cuttings that get transferred to footpaths at the time of cutting.
