Are Grass Clippings on the Road Really Illegal in Evansville?

When mowing your lawn, it's common courtesy to dispose of your grass clippings properly, but is it illegal to leave them in the road?

Grass Clippings on the Road Can Be Dangerous

When it comes to mowing your grass, I've always known to blow my grass clippings back into my yard because if you leave them on the street, it can cause a serious hazard for motorcycles. According to Lawnstarter.com, grass clippings on the road are so dangerous for motorcycles because the grass is about 85% water and will stick to the road. When a bike hits the grass, it's almost like hitting a sheet of ice.

However, safety measures aside, it just looks messy to leave them behind, and it could cost you if you're caught leaving them in the road within Evansville city limits.
