🚫 Please Keep Grass Clippings Off the Street 🚫

When mowing, don’t blow clippings onto the street, curb, or gutter. Grass can:
• Clog storm drains
• Block water flow
• Cause street flooding
• Add phosphorus to our waterways

Let’s keep Benson’s streets clean and drains flowing. Thanks for doing your part! 🌿
