All you need is a regular lawn mower, a specialized mulching blade that costs about ten dollars and an enclosure to cover the discharge chute.
You then just mow.

[OUT Q=INTO YOUR LAWN]
Where they will then help fertilize your lawn.
The city says there are even more benefits. For one, this could cut down on leaf piles which tend to clog the city's storm drains.
It would also clear the streets of leaves which can be a hazard for pedestrians and motorists when wet.
Then there's the cost factor, the city spends several hundred thousand dollars each year for leaf collection.

Partnering with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Southwest Virginia further cements the Scott Robertson Memorial organizations desire to teach golf as well as life skills to youth.
